I'm in South West France in the countryside between Toulouse and Bordeaux. If you want some pointers, let me know. Happy to help.

Newbie here (to this forum and contracting in general) so please be gentle.
I semi-retired to France earlier this year and am currently going through the residency process. I now pay taxes etc here.
An opportunity has arisen to do some contract work for a UK based company. The majority of the work will be remote i.e. I'll be able to do >75% from here in France. I expect the contract will be 2-3 days a week for 6-9 months.
I have a few questions:
1. Should I set up a UK ltd company? Or a French based enterprise? Or should I bill them as an individual?
2. Is there anyone in this community who has done something similar with whom I can compare notes?
3. What are the potential 'gotchas' (Brexit aside)?
Cheers,
Mark

The percentage of remote work is key, otherwise tax may well be due in both countries - though dual taxation agreements will mean you can offset tax paid in one country against the other.
If you can limit the UK work, then set up in accordance with France. Depending on turnover, you may need to charge the client VAT.
