Hi, I live (property not in my name) and work in UK and I am planning to provide my girlfriend (French citizen) a rental accommodation in France. This will be her main place of residence, currently she is unemployed.
We are planning to have the rent receipt in both our names, but, I will pay the landlord directly, and only me that will be paying.
We will be opening a joint bank account that I will put some funds into, every month.
I will mainly be living in UK, but, visiting her frequently.
I would like to know: if housing tax is applicable in this case; if the rental accommodation can still be in both our names if I am the only one paying, and, any other taxes that would apply to this situation.
Could you advise on the best way to allow me to provide my girlfriend a place to stay and live, ensuring that taxes are to a minimum? As, we aren't really that wealthy, she really needs a place to stay, she has no income, and the taxes seem to be high, when looking at the general tax law, but, we are unsure of how it applies to our case.
Regards
