Regarding UK OAP Pension taxation at source:
An exemption can be obtained with this form...
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...nce-individual
This form also includes company pension annuity payments, but not income derived from other sources such as property rentals.
It has to be completed and delivered to your local French Impots Office who, in my case about 2 months ago, knew exactly what to do with it. Both sections must be completed but they just duplicate the same data.
There is also the option to have the pensions paid directly into a French bank account.
