Free circulation of people and capital provides exceptional
opportunities to citizens, professionals and companies from Bidasoa-
Txingudi, given that the two societies and economies can
open doors for each other. However, due to the different legal
systems on either side of the River Bidasoa, certain difficulties
may arise.This guide, published by the Bidasoa-Txingudi Cross-
Border Consortium, aims to help overcome these obstacles and
become a useful tool for inhabitants who come up against these
difficulties.
It thereby compiles the bases of the different legal systems,
organising the information practically: it tackles situations
that might occur in the cross-border field, each presented
by a frequently asked question, with its corresponding detailed
answer, aiming to give a complete response. This publication
appears in guide or manual format, containing purely
practical information. |

The manual looks at 239
specific questions, adding
its corresponding answer to
each one. Questions are divided
into seven sections,
according to the different
situations. So, the first
chapter looks at the situation
of a European citizen
working and living in Gipuzkoa,
and poses questions
that might crop up in this situation;
the second chapter
focuses on European citizens
who work and live in
France, with their corresponding questions; the third tackles
the situation of a European citizen living in France
and working in Gipuzkoa, with their corresponding
questions; the fourth, the situation of a European citizen
who lives in Gipuzkoa and works in France, with
their corresponding questions; the fifth studies the
situation of companies that, whilst based in France,
run their activity in Gipuzkoa and companies that are
based in Gipuzkoa and run their activity in France,
with their corresponding questions; the sixth looks
at the situation of people that live in either Gipuzkoa
or France and work on both sides of the border,
with their corresponding questions; and the final
chapter analyses pensioners or people receiving invalidity
benefit or a widow's pension with their corresponding
questions.
The answers encompass situations experienced
by citizens, companies and professionals that live on
both sides of the border, comparing the legal forms
that appear in the rules
and norms in force;
forms and addresses of
interest are provided
at the end of the publication.
It analyses these
areas by looking at
different situations
including the following
fields: legal
forms, essential procedures
to set up
companies, company
statutes, partner
responsibility,
taking into account
capital and impositions.
It encompasses
local taxes,
revenue, companies and economic
activities, whilst also studying the obligation to declare income
tax, special regimes, the nature, field of application and scale
of taxation. It also studies employment contracts, analysing
costs, social security, pensions and healthcare among other aspects
and looks in detail at certain areas of the field of health
and education.
The guide has been produced by the town councils of Irun,
Hondarribia and Hendaye, within the framework of the Bidasoa-
Txingudi Cross-border Consortium, sponsored by the Basque Government,
the Aquitaine Region, Loborare Cosein, Bidasoa Activa
and the Baiona Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
