British Rail drivers (do they still exist?) are not members of NATO. U.K. veterans in USA get some of the same benefits as their counterparts in the American armed forces, so I just wondered if it is true in France as well.
Obviously, you think that I am stupid to think that so I will end my participation in this thread.
Iām not sure what a country being a member of NATO has to do with the taxes that you are required to pay in France.
Please donāt! There are many of us that donāt think you are stupid - myself and James (aka the boss!) - personally, I think it is an entirely sensible question to ask and would definitely do the same myself.
Will be interested to hear how you get on.
Have a lovely evening!

I have a pension from the gov and taxed on it in the uk unlike old age pension and private pensions taxed here. The double treaty means you are not taxed on the gov pension in France.
Correct but, just to clarify, you do still need to declare it (gross) in France.
Yes, itās the old Chestnut doing the roundsā¦ againā¦ isnāt it @simon
itās āthat time of yearāā¦ 
Why do folk think they can leave stuff OFFā¦ just because it gets taxed elsewhereā¦ 
Worldwide Income needs to be declared In Franceā¦ France needs to know about every penny/cent ā¦
We keep saying it, donāt weā¦ 
ā¦ but it still needs sayingā¦ 
Yes, but it goes in a different box
Correct 
- Actually 3 different boxes, 2 different formsā¦
Yes, 2 forms so it will be 3 boxes
It is not permissible to āchooseā in which country the old age state pension is taxed. Where it is taxed depends on where the taxpayer is primarily domiciled, and that is a matter of fact rather than choice. If one lives primarily in France, then the UK Old Age State Pension is taxed in France. Itās a matter of the law of the land rather than a decision of choice.
