Votre passerelle pour faire de la France votre chez-vous.
One stop practical advice to 'join the dots' of your life in France...Des conseils pratiques en un seul endroit pour relier les points de votre vie en France…
Our aim is to build a long term relationship with our client where we can discuss, plan and adapt the best route for your work, personal needs and family as you grow, develop and live in France.
Our experience and understanding comes from working ‘on the ground’ with clients.
You will see comments on social media and news channels. Friends and groups will be offer honest well intended advice. However, it is important that you understand all the options to create the best plan for YOU.
Every day we are engaging with organisations, using the online administration systems and discussing with our 1000+ clients their experiences.
Even with excellent French, good admin skills and plenty time…planning the best option to ‘join the dots’ between work, health, business, tax, investment, retirement and property can be a challenge even for French nationals – which is why there so many ‘French companies’ who assist French nationals with their tax and admin.
Here at France Central (formerly Peter JOHNSON SARL) our specialism is to ensure that the added factor of being an ex-pat is built into your planning. We are authorized and licensed to work with clients at an individual level. We work in partnership with a chartered French accountant, Axylis, for business clients, VAT returns and complex personal fiscal and tax issues.
So before making any decision, check in with us first.
