TAX OFFICES WILL TAKE ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID READER QUESTION: ARE FRENCH STATE PENSIONS AND SUPPLEMENTARY PENSIONS (_RETRAITES DES CADRES_) TAXED AT SOURCE OR MUST I DECLARE
THEM? Actually, both cases apply: you should declare your French pensions, even though they will already have had tax taken off at source. The tax office will bear in mind the tax that has
already been levied and will not charge it again. Essentially, you declare your worldwide income (with some exceptions, such as income from tax-free French accounts) and then the tax office
checks to see if you have already paid enough in at-source tax. If you have, obviously nothing further will be payable. RELATED ARTICLES DOES FRENCH PENSION MEAN I PAY HIGHER SOCIAL LEVIES
