Our law firm has accumulated many years of experience in dealing with various issues of French tax law and, in particular, the tax law applicable to non-resident foreign nationals who have tax obligations in France (for example, tax obligations arising from the division of joint property of spouses or an estate in France).
We also provide legal assistance to foreign nationals who are French tax residents and receive income abroad that is taxable in France.
A particular area of our activity is tax support for foreign and French companies owning real estate in France, particularly in connection with their obligation to declare their ultimate beneficiaries (the so-called “3% tax” declaration).
Our services in this area include consulting, preparing and filing various tax returns, and representing clients before tax authorities and the courts.
Our skills include
- Out-of-court work with tax authorities to defend clients' rights in relation to unfounded decisions by tax authorities.
- Determination of the existence and scope of tax obligations for owners of real estate in France, and assistance with the preparation and filing of annual real estate wealth tax (IFI) returns.
- Advice to individuals on their tax obligations in France in connection with gifts received abroad or from abroad.
- Support for non-resident French clients liable for capital gains tax on the sale of real estate, notably by liaising with the notary and tax representative.
