Limited company or open a business in France?
I’m planning on moving to the South of France together with my girlfriend (we are both EU citizens) and unborn baby. I own businesses in Scandinavia and the UK and will travel roughly 150 days a year. I have calculated that I will pay myself (and or my girlfriend) a total of 70,000 euros per year by invoicing my overseas businesses. I already have a home in France where I will work from, so the salary will be just to cover local living expenses, I will have no major business costs in France. When traveling abroad on business I intend to have the overseas businesses cover these costs directly. I’m comfortable with the rules relating to taxation on dividends.
Based on the above information which type of structure would be the most tax efficient? What would the tax liability be on 70,000 euros?
