Working in Switzerland, Staying in France, "resident" in the UK, company ?

Friday night? Everyone's out enjoying the lavish expat lifestyle.

It's "Forums" or "Fora". I prefer the former.

If your wife will be with you in France, then this is a very strong pointer to the French tax authorities that your main residency is in France. If you retain a home in the UK and return regularly it is also a pointer to the UK that your main residency is in the UK.

Keep records and proof of your whereabouts, and check French residency requirements.

You need to make sure that in Switzerland that you register correctly as a border crosser or they too will be taxing you on everything.

The expected outcome would be that you pay tax in Switzerland on the work you do there and declare that in the country where your main residency is, which could be France or the UK. The country of your main residency will tax you on world-wide income.

Unfortunately tax authorities always assume that you are fully resident in their country until you prove otherwise, just bear that in mind.

Definitely want to avoid being taxed multiple times! Though from the English Forum it seems that trying to find a place which will accept three dogs will be the biggest challenge...
