Hi
I've just read another post for another Australian applying for carte vitale however our situation is different as we have submitted a tax return.
We moved to France in March 2016. We do not have health insurance as we were made aware that we could apply for a CV after 3 months of living here. We were also advised that we would need to show them our French tax return with our application which is why we have waited until now.
Are there fines for not having health insurance?
Our only income is our interest earned on foreign income. We declared this income on our January 2016 to December 2016 tax return and have now received a bill for 15.5 percent social security charges.
Can we just submit this one tax return with our application? The one from the year before will obviously have a higher earning amount as we were working and do not want to pay based on this amount.
Do we have to pay a further 8 percent on top of the 15.5 percent paid in social security? Note this is is interest on income and not salary. Or are we deemed "low income" and do not have to pay anything extras we are not officially earning a salary?
We are both originally from the UK so are here on European passports however all other aspects of our lives are Australian in case there are any queries as to why we do not have health insurance for VISAs.
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Jo
