If he's not resident in the UK he has no tax to pay unless he still owns a property and then local rates will apply. We get UK and Belgian pensions accrued during our working lives but now we're resident here we'll be paying French taxes which, it seems, will be less than in Belgium.
Blue skies, strong sunlight and strong winds too. Beautiful but not inviting.
I shall fetch a pumpkin form the polytunnel and a couple of beetroot and make some warming soups for lunches for the rest of this week. Brrrr!

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
Various friends who were employed by the NHS, education and the Civil Service and now living in various EU countries say "... we are still UK tax payers because our pensions are all government paid and are therefore taxed bythe UK. At the moment we are entitled to make use of the reciprocal agreement between EU countries so aren't taxed again on them in France even though we are fiscally resident here."
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Dove ....and your point is ?........I am a non resident but still have to pay tax on my paltry UK pension .....I don't need it of course but I refuse to leave it on the table .....I actually donate it to a local orphanage
Hi folks, not getting into the political discussion. Today the postman delivered Geoff Hamilton's BBC DVD's I'm watching the cottage garden one at the moment and wonderful it is too. Problem is, it's making me want to dig everything up and start again.
I have a small English NHS pension, tax is paid in the UK, and a French pension, tax is paid in France. I vote in France because I have dual nationality. But I'm English, wasn't my choice to live in France and I still pay some tax in the UK, now I part own a cottage there so I think I should be able to vote in the UK as well, but I can't because I've been in France over 15 years. But I lived in England for longer.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Right, I've done my bit of scrounging and a bit of skip diving ( Wonky
) and I now have carpet to line the bottom of the beds for more water lilies.
The Hot Tunnel was a rather lovely 25C this morning but the sun has gone now , so maybe a bit chilly .
Hubby doing some cheesy toasties for lunch . Nice warming comfort food.
Steephill, that's probably the house where I laid the turf.

The point the ex pats (not me) are making is that as UK taxpayers they feel that they should be able to vote on how their taxes are spent.
All I did was pass on some information which I'd read elsewhere and thought might be of interest to some of the expats on this forum
Please don't shoot the messenger!

Sown some Echium seeds this morning
That one is on OH's viewing list Yvie. He needs to see it before we start on the paving and beds for my new perfumed garden and coffee terrace.
Enjoy.
