Settling in

Tax: becoming a French tax resident

Tax is where improvising costs the most. It is settled before the move, not after the first return.

The questions to put to a tax adviser

  • From when will I be a French tax resident?
  • How does the tax treaty with my country apply?
  • How do I declare foreign income and accounts?
  • What ownership structure for the property?
  • What impact on inheritance planning?

Our role

We do not give tax advice. We frame the subject, prepare the right questions, and connect you with a tax adviser or notaire from the address book.
