Question

If I am resident in France, but work overseas do I pay tax if I am in France for less than 90 days in a year?

Answer 1

Yes, you will.



Regretfully, France has, in common with the USA, a rule that worldwide income of French residents is taxable.



Under some conditions, the income paid abroad may be claimed back entirely or partially.



If there is a double imposition treaty between France and your country of work, your income may be taxable in your country of work.
