While the recent UK Autumn Budget was framed as offering “breathing space,” the cumulative effect of ongoing fiscal freezes and policy shifts tells a very different story for British expatriates living in France.

In this episode, hosts Rob Kay and James Griffiths sit down with David Morley, Head of Wealth Structuring at Blevins Franks, to dissect what the latest announcements mean for your cross-border wealth.

Key discussion points in this episode:

  • The Squeeze on UK Savings & Rental Income
  • The Long Reach of Stealth Taxes
  • Pensions Drawn into UK IHT
  • Cross-Border Succession Planning

If you hold property, pensions, or cash savings in the UK while residing in France, holistic financial planning is essential to protect your family’s estate.
