Claiming expenses for travel to interview

You did, but you were wrong there as well.

The French corporation and social tax laws only apply if you are resident for more than 6 months or the controlling director of the company is a French resident. If you are working for a UK company and invoices are being paid to the UK, they shouldn't apply - but knowing French bureaucrats, anything is possible. Similarly, they may decide your salary is taxable in France after 6 months, umbrella or not.

But that is my situation. I'll be flying home most weekends, but will be working in France (tax resident) and the contract is for a year, possibly more.

Like I said, I know limited companies work excellently for a lot of people, but I've gone through the figures with three different accountants and there is no advantage at all in me starting a limited company, so I'll stick with the brolly for now and change if my situation changes.
