France in Focus

I'm hoping some one can help me with this - our tax returns are normally soooo simple.

My OH started drawing his UK OAP last year and when he applied was told he could have received it the previous year and therefore they gave him a years worth of pension in one go I don't know where to put this on the form.

I think I have to put last years oap on 2042 1AM but not sure where to put the lump sum - we have no other income apart from a very small French pension.

Many thanks

Char - OH has just checked -it should go on 2042 1AM as you said.

Have a look at my post on this thread

It may well be worthwhile paying flat rate on the whole amount rather than higher rates if you simply declare it as normal income in 1AM. You do need to do the sums though.
