My husband is employed with the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. He is French, I am American. We live in France. As my husband is a UN employee, we are not in the French system at all. Our insurance, retirement, etc. is with the UN.

United Nations employees have a different tax situation, as the UN is considered in terms of treaties and governance as an independent entity (like a country) in itself, treaties between the UN and other countries (France included) dictate how employees can declare income. I know there are family househould income limits for becoming an AE, but I wonder how that applies to spouses of UN employees who are living here legally in France, but are not part of the system in terms of taxation, insurance, retirement, etc. I myself am no longer with the UN. Here in this area of France near Geneva, there are many UN employees so I think this would be a pertinent question.

I find the auto-entrepreneur status tempting and would like to know more about how that would work for me, given my slightly different situation. I searched the Forum but didn’t find this question asked.
