Expert Advice On Moving To France

Moving to France has become increasingly popular with those who are looking for a new life away from all the stresses and strains of modern life in Britain. Many people who are planning on moving to France are attracted by the promise of living in a rural idyll which they may have discovered when they were on holiday.

The Baby Boomer generation are leading the way when it comes to moving abroad. They are now either retired or approaching the day when they can finish work, the prospect of selling the house now the kids have moved out and buying something smaller is an attractive one. Property prices are generally a lot lower in France than they are in Britain, particularly in rural areas, so if you are in the position where you can buy a dream home without having a mortgage around your neck.

If you are serious about relocating to France you will have planned  just about everything by now. At this stage you would have consulted estate agents and solicitors, essential in any move of course, but if you are moving to France you will be aware of the differences in law relating to property sales. Another expert you may need to talk to is the person who will be transporting your belongings when you are moving to France or moving to Switzerland or anywhere else in Europe. This is where European Removal Experts come in. They will be able to deal with your move in a professional manner, leaving you stress free to begin your new life.

German Cuisine: Beyond the Bratwurst!

On the world stage, German cuisine does not hold a  better reputation than the UK’s – and that’s saying something! However, just as there’s much more to UK cuisine than fish and chips, when if comes to German food – there’s a little more to it than the Bratwurst.

Probably due to our similar histories/cultures, there is a lot of a common ground between what we eat in the UK and what Germans eat – which will come as some comfort for anyone moving to Germany who doesn’t have the most adventurous palette.

There are, however, enough gastronomical differences to excite the food connoisseur moving to Germany. And whilst much of the food you’ll find in Germany will bear a passing resemblance to food you’ll find in the UK, things are often done a little differently.

For example, anyone moving to Germany will notice the prevalence of pickled vegetables, such as sauerkraut, which often accompany meals; Germans also love their breads, and therefore you’ll find a lot of bakeries, offering, for example, pretzels; and whilst it is not the be all and end all of German cuisine, the Bratwurst and other quality sausages also prevail in the country, making it an ideal place to live if that sort of thing is your cup of tea – or should be “stein of German beer”.

Whatever the reason for moving to germany – whether its the cuisine or otherwise – with European Removal Experts we like to think that we take the hassle out of European removals.

Moving To Switzerland To Save On Tax

There has been a lot of speculation in the media about tax rises affecting those with a considerable amount of money in the bank, which is why many people maybe thinking about moving to Switzerland. For those who are considering relocating to Switzerland it is important to be aware that you will be required to relinquish your UK residency, so if you are in the enviable position of moving to Switzerland, there are some things regarding the tax consequences you should expect.

If you are moving to Switzerland, you become a tax resident if you are in the country for a minimum period of 30 days and you are working, or you have been in the country for 90 days without working. If you wish to remain a permanent citizen you must apply for a Swiss Residence Permit, and anyone from the European Union will receive beneficial treatment when it comes to obtaining these permits.

Once you are settled after moving to Switzerland, you will be granted a residency permit, but you must live in Switzerland to retain your residency status. If you are unable to spend 180 days a year in the country after relocating to Switzerland, you must ensure you do not spend more time in any one country than you do in Switzerland. Failure to meet these criteria will result in you not being considered as a Swiss resident.

If you are relocating to Switzerland you will of course take the best legal advice, and you will also want the experts to look after your move. We at European Removal Experts are the experts when it comes to looking after those who are moving to Switzerland, moving to Holland, or moving to any country in Europe.

Top Tips On Moving To Switzerland

Whatever your reasons for moving to Switzerland, whether it is for a new job which means you have to relocate, or retirement, you will want to make a move that is as easy as possible. You will already be aware that planning a move to Switzerland entails a lot of work and planning, so here are a few extra little tips which will hopefully make your move that bit easier!

If you are planning to apply for residency in Switzerland, you will have to relinquish your British residency. Don’t forget to let the Inland Revenue know that you are moving. Once you have gone through the process of relocating to Switzerland and are settled, inform the taxation office in Switzerland that you have arrived. Do some research into what this entails, because the last thing you want is to get on the wrong side of the law, which may result with you being hit with a fine.

It may sound silly to point this out, but when you leave your home in the UK, don’t forget to let the relevant utilities companies know that you are no longer a resident at that address. It’s surprising how many people forget to do this, which means they can be caught up in resolving the problem when they are living abroad. And finally, when you are planning the logistics of moving to Switzerland or even moving to Belgium for that matter, don’t forget to get in touch with European Removal Experts, the experts in home moves to locations all over Europe.
