Is anyone aware of the definite law re. staying in France on a boat? We have been told that 'an accumulation' of 183 days or more - calculated from the 1st of January each year - means that for French Govmnt. purposes that person is 'resident' in France and therefore subject to taxation 'of all income and taxable benefits worldwide. We were always under the impression that the 180 days had to be consecutive and could be broken by spending a few days outside France, but now we are told that each day, or part day, is included in the total calculation.
