<prompt> Human: I recently moved from the USA to Paris. My French salary is 100K Euros and the company is paying an additional 2700 Euros for our apartment.When I accepted the position here my preliminary research told me that I wouldnt have to pay taxes in both countries, but now Im hearing that there could be an issue because of my relatively high salary.

However, you will get a foreign tax CREDIT not deduction for taxes you paid to the French so that theoretically youre not double-taxed. Lets say you make 100k and you owe the French 25k in taxes. Lets say your US tax bill had you lived in the US would be 20k - you wont owe the Fed anything, but you still have to file.Lets swap those around and say you owe the French 20k and you would owe the US 25k. You pay the French 20 and the US 5k, so youre no worse off.That is an incredible oversimplification and certain areas of income in the French I.e., your housing allowance may not be taxable there but would be taxable here.
