I start a new job next week, I could be paid in Euros in France, or the same amount exchanged to pounds in England. Not being a financial expert I wondered which situation would be the most profitable for me, taking into consideration income tax rates, and national insurance contributions.

I lived in both countries and France without a doubt.

In UK, you pay all your taxes from your salary directly so what you earn is really yours

In france, you pay taxes from your salary but then you have to pay what it is called "impots sur le revenus" so what you earn is still not entierly yours as you still have to pay taxes on it.

Though you will be less paid in France (taxes approaches at least 50%), you will have lots of national benefits such as social security (free health insurance), free schooling for your children, no justice fees (lawyers are free for poor people), help with your rent expenses, and so on... You could really have benefits of all these national advantages only if you lived in France for many years.

My cousin who lives and works in London told me that you had finally more money in France except if you work in finance. All other jobs would be better in France.

Conclusion: if you work in finance go to england; if you dont expect yourself living more than a year, go to england. In all other cases, comme into our beautiful country! Despites, you will learn french language whose poetry is inherent to all words.
