Our financial advisors are adamant that we are the only client who are being treated this way and our impôt the only one to take this stance.
Is there an Impôt appeals court?
Yes there is, but you have to have taken each step of the complaint procedure first. So you need to make a formal reclamation via your messagerie (and add a handwritten signature). Then after (I think) two months you can move on to the administrative tribunal.
Thanks for sharing the response from Albi Impôts.
There is a certain bureaucratic logic to what Albi are telling you.Surely you don’t mind which part of the Impôts refund you the CSG etc, just as long as they do so?! Personally I would immediately email the letter (or so the usual LRAR) to the
Service des Impôts des Entreprises des non-résidents, and wait to see what happens.
Do please let us know the outcome!
Progress.
We copied the note from our financial advisor to the Albi Impôt who have now copied all our information that we supplied them to Noisy le Grand [Impot Enterprise Non Resident) telling them to sort it out. I will update you to any responses to this.

Well it has been three months and still no response from the Impôt Enterprise non resident. Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear this. Have you tried calling them? And writing to them, lettre recommandée etc? Have you also tried asking Albi to chase them up?
Hi George
The initial contact was started by Albi Impot who sent all our documents to them in March and copied the email to us. This was acknowledged by them. We chased it up by email and copied it to Albi this was again acknowledged.
Maybe we should try a phone call next week. Thank you for the contact details.
Best Regards

hi Nick,
I hope it’s OK to reply to your older post - considered starting a new one but this is exactly my question 
It would be so helpful to know if indeed your pension income was exempt from all social charges with your S1. I just arrived in France recently and have a foreign pension and S1 too so am in the same position and very confused about the social charges. Many thanks in advance for any update!

The thread is mainly about social charges being applied incorrectly to assurance vie (a type of savings account).
On UK pensions it should be fine! When you get to do a tax return there is a box to tick to say you have an S1, and 99% of the time that works and you are not charged.
(Adding to old threads is good as keeps info together)

Welcome to SF @Linda_MG !
You will find lots of useful info here (and you did the right thing appending your question to an existing thread as Jane said)!

Thanks JaneJones 
Thanks, I just found this forum a day or so ago and have learned so much already. What a mine of useful information!
Hi All as you rightly say these are social charges on capital gains where with an S1 it should be taxed at 7.5% rather than 17.2%.
I tried to phone the impôt enterprise non résident and could not navigate the options (they are in English) but they require a SIREN number except for the last option which is any other business. When I clicked on that it said contact your local Impôt.
Talk about going around in circles. Well we contacted our local Impôt and he said he will chase them. I am not convinced that it is the Impôt enterprise non resident who should be sorting this but how to convince our local Impôt.

Hi All after no contact from non resident enterprise tax office in Noissy. We chased our local tax office again and they contacted them. Finally we get an answer that it is being processed but they are running at least six months behind.
On that thought we applied in March for exchange of UK to French driving licences no response yet after four months.
Regards. Nick
Nick, good news at least that your refund claim hasn’t been ‘lost’!
On UK-France driving licenses, purely FYI, I applied to exchange in January, and bar 1 request for information they clearly already had, and a ‘refreshed’ DVLA attestation/check code, no further progress. It seems that 6-8 months for resolution is par for the course currently…
Hi all, a huge amount of posts on this thread and I have not read all of them so my point below might have already been mentioned … however …
To prove to the French tax man you do not need to pay social taxes because you hold an S1 form you must before hand register the S1 with the CPAM and then print from CPAM an “Attestation de droits” showing a “70” code. I was advised to print this attestation every year on decembre 31st as proof to the French “services fiscaux” that social taxes are not due.

Hi we rechecked our driving licence applications and couldn’t find any request for a DVLA code.
We initially put in the S1 (which CPAM promptly lost) we sent them a second one and that seems to have been good for the last four years.

From what I remember it isn’t among the documents expressly requested when you first do the application on the ANTS platform. But Kim recommends uploading a scan of the certificate of entitlement at this early stage anyway.
If you don’t supply it at that stage - or if you do but ANTS takes so long to examine the application that by that time the certificate is more than 6 months old - ANTS will contact you and ask for the certificate.
I THINK this is correct…
