- I have owned a house in France since 2006. It is the only house I own as I rent in the UK. Does this make it my main residence as it is the only house I own?
- It has always been my intention to retire to France in a few years time and set up as an auto-entrepreneur. However, after the Brexit result I am planning to move out sooner - approximately July 2018 before the possible end of free movement. Can I set up as an auto-entrepreneur earlier than July 2018?
- I would be living in the UK with my main income from the UK but running a gite in France. I’m hoping to ensure that I am in the system for medical cover and will only have to pay a top up once I move there in July 2018?
- My main concern is that I will not be able to afford complete medical cover when I move but can only afford the top-up. With that in mind I have to have paid into the system. Am I able to do this whilst still living in the UK until July 2018?
- Is there a minimum amount of tax that has to be paid before I will be entitled to medical cover?
