Hi,
No. You would need to be a national of France.
The guidance at SA109 notes advises that personal allowances can be claimed by an individual, if they are a British citizen, a national of another member state of the European Economic Area (EEA) or they are a national and resident of any of the countries listed.
The guidance also advises that personal allowances can be claimed if:-
- you’re resident in the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands
- you’ve previously resided in the UK and are resident abroad for the sake of your health, or the health of a member of your family living with you
- you’re, or have been, employed in the service of the British Crown
- you’re employed in the service of any State under the protection of Her Majesty
- you’re employed in the service of any missionary society
- you’re a widow, widower or surviving civil partner whose late husband, wife or civil partner was in the service of the British Crown
Residence, remittance basis etc notes
Thank you.
