Hello, I am a tax resident in the United Kingdom with investments in France, including -Livret A -Plan Epargne Logement (PEL) - Livret de développement durable et solidaire (LDDS) - Stocks shares (comptes titres) - A life insurance policy (Euro fund, UC Divers, and UC BNPP Diversipierre) 1. Do I need to pay taxes on all the investments listed above? -For the Livret A, PEL, LDDS? -For the shares (comptes titres), some taxes have already been withheld by my French bank. Do I need to pay extra taxes in the UK? -For the life insurance policy, the UC fluctuates significantly with the market and can sometimes show negative returns. Should I pay taxes only on the Euro fund, or on the entire portfolio (Euro fund, UC Divers, and UC BNPP Diversipierre)? 2.What is the taxation rate for each investment mentioned above? 3. Is it a new policy since Brexit? I would really appreciate your help with this, as I am struggling to find clear information. Thank you very much

Hi, Many thanks for sending me this link. I have read a few more info on the internet and/or on this forum. Looks like 1. I have to declare taxes on Livret A, PEL, LDDS and shares 2. For Life insurance, based on this post, if i haven't withdrawn money, I shouldn't declare it even though the money is increasing. https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/customerforums/sa/e050ad57-8046-ee11-a81c-002248c61b8e#caad6a54-8046-ee11-be6e-00224841fb92 Thanks
