Retirees 'choosing to live in France'
British retirees are increasingly opting to spend their post-working life in France, a newspaper has revealed.
The Times stated that the good quality of living on offer in the European country was one of its main attractions.
However, the publication said that France also had a number of other tempting inducements, such as financial benefits.
For example, potential expats were told that if they earned £52,000 or less, they would be better off in France since this would put them in a lower tax bracket.
This is despite the top rate of income tax being 0.8 per cent higher than the equivalent in the UK.
The Times commented: "If you spend longer in France than in any other tax jurisdiction during the space of one year, you will automatically be considered a resident for tax purposes."
France has recently attracted considerable interest from British property buyers as a result of recent accessibility improvements.
Last year, a high-speed rail link between London and Paris was launched by Eurostar, offering reduced journey times to passengers.
