It’s been a while since I had time to write on my blog, (and I have so many things to answer in there, especially on some gpl projects out there), I’ve been in China since my last post, hence I’ve been busy (very busy)…
well, I thought there were some interest in being a French expat (or working abroad), so I googled a little bit, and here is what I found:

Some people told me you don’t need to pay taxes if you work abroad for a certain amount of time, well it’s wrong:
- As mentionned in the above article, your activity must be in construction field, ressource mining, or sales.
- If you are in construction you’ll end up after 183 days of work to have some exonerations of tax
- If you are in sales, and your activity is about installing a new company abroad, you’ll need 120 days
- In any case, you can only “not pay” taxes relative to your salary when you are abroad (120 days/183 days), but that does not concern the rest of the year.
Isn’t it great ? I mean wouldn’t it be great, if I were ever working in those fields…
