This is actually a bit late, but I was transferred at the beginning of 2004 to France with my company. I (clearly wrongly) thought they would sort out the required paperwork. However I have just found out that they have done precisely nothing.

I am still paid from the UK and am struggling with the Inland Revenue to claim back the tax I paid between Jan and March. However that is another story.

What I was wondering was whether anyone could help me with regard to registering in France. I understand I no longer need a carte de séjour, but do I have to register with the mairie or anything? And most importantly, how do I go about registering for tax? I need a form from them saying I am resident here to claim back the UK tax, but I'm assuming I need to register with them first. I've searched the web for any indications, but to no avail.

Thanks for any help.
