French pensioners residing in the United Kingdom

Brexit with the withdrawal agreement that was signed on January 24, 2020 (effective from January 31, 2020) and during the transition period which runs through December 31, 2020

The French health insurance scheme will apply and permanently assume payment of benefits, the amount of which it receives from the UK scheme on behalf of the French scheme.

The pensioner’s French pension is liable neither to CSG nor to CRDS as they are not a tax resident of France.

A health insurance contribution is payable at a specific rate of 3,2 % on retirement pensions paid by a basic scheme and 4,2 % on retirement pensions other than those paid by a basic scheme (supplementary retirement pensions...).

As regards France’s relationship with the United Kingdom from January 1st, 2021, we now know more about the measures that will apply under the withdrawal agreement to Frenchinsured individuals who established ties to the United Kingdom prior to December 31, 2020 : on cutoff dates for forms issued as certificates of applicable legislation for posted or multi-State workers.

CSG :

La contribution sociale généralisée. La CSG est prélevée sur les revenus d'activité et de remplacement des personnes domiciliées fiscalement en France et à la charge, à quelque titre que ce soit, d'un régime obligatoire français d'assurance maladie. Son taux est différent selon les revenus concernés. Elle finance l'assurance maladie, les prestations familiales et le fonds de solidarité vieillesse (FSV).

CRDS :

Contribution au remboursement de la dette sociale. Créée dans le but de résorber l'endettement de la Sécurité sociale, cette contribution est fixée à un taux identique quel que soit le revenu concerné (revenu d'activité, de remplacement, du patrimoine, de placement, …).
