Our group has grown/evolved over the 3 years I have been here. There are a few Tattlers on here who are residing in France and/or have knowledge of French tax law.
If we return our Tattle focus to the financial situation of a foundation established (by Stephanie) for the restoration of the farmhouse owned by 3 persons (Stephanie, Potts and Nick - although I still think Isabelle owns a percentage of Stephanie’s portion via a family trust), yet publicised via vlogs and managed by the directors-Stephanie, Isabelle and Natti - where does the liability for non compliance with tax laws sit? With Stephanie and the foundation directors or are owners of building included? I mean surely the directors of the foundation ALL have to sign off on the annual taxation report. (How’s that English language understanding going Natti?)
And how would the accountability for tax declarations and processing be assigned - with the original accountants and/or possibly Philip’s father? With the owners? With the foundation directors?
I would appreciate clarity on this from European/French based Tattlers.
And if the farmhouse association is French based how does that work if Stephanie is UK tax domicile?
Could a financial investigation also extend to groups (such as Brenda’s Facebook page) which (falsely) promote the activities of the directors of the foundation? My understanding is Brenda’s jurisdiction is EU - please correct me if I am wrong.
Whilst I appreciate derails, good wishes, sympathies shared, etc let us not lose sight of the financial questions and grievances which started and grew this thread originally.
And as we hypothesise over the last weeks on Amaury and Natti’s exit from the farmhouse vlogs, let us not forget she is a director of the association which was formed to minimise tax, yet renovate a farmhouse. I mean if something awful should happen like a legal investigation by the French tax office who would pay for Natti’s legal bills? I do wonder if the Argentinian understands her legal position and liability, Let us not forget Stephanie’s “welcome to the family” speech once it was established that Amaury and Natti were an item (or regular dalliance). Yes welcome indeed Natti to the financial liability. I do hope she understands her liabilities and risks.
