I run a graphic design and web development business in France with all my current clients in the UK. This year, for the first time, I have stayed in France longer than 183 days and by law I believe I should pay tax into the French system. However, it seems a bit premature to move all my tax affairs to France when the likelihood is that I will need to return to the UK next year to look for new clients there.

In the longer term I would like to move the business to France but although my French is reasonable I would probably need to improve it before I could be successful in business and win clients here. What is my position and what would you advise? If I do need to move my affairs here should I sign up for auto-entrepreneur?
