What was your first post on Survive France?

I’m afraid mine was just about tax - and usually still is…

But it did seem to spawn some sort of pension encashment industry.

It was also my first post in my entire life to any forum.

Pension lump sums UK and france prélèvement forfaitaire libératoire

Greetings! First post here. 25/2/2020. Can one take single payment of the UK tax exempt 25% pension in UK and then subsequently take in France remaining complete lump sum at 7.5% rate? Would welcome any responses from persons (or those who know about the topic) who have taken the 25% tax free lump sum from UK personal pensions under UK tax as UK tax resident without further drawdown (not invoking flexible drawdown) and then subsequently became tax resident in France and succesfully taking the remaining pension in a single lump sum taxed at 7.5%. References I have found online are the Bulletin Officiel des Finances Publiques-Impôts BOI-RSA-PENS-30-10-20-20121211 and https://www.french-property.com/news/tax_france/pension_lump_sum/ Thanks and regards.
