Can I run my French business from UK?

As things currently stand, there is no problem in having a business activity here through the micro-entrepreneur system while being a UK resident.

French taxation on the taxable element may, however, change as the French apply a fixed minimum tax rate for non residents of 20%.

In the UK, you would then declare the French tax assessable figure and reclaim the tax paid in France and if more than the eventual UK income tax due, be entitled to a tax refund.
