How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal ways to reduce your income tax in France.
One effective strategy is real estate investment, notably via tax schemes such as the LMNP status, which can lead to significant tax benefits.
Another powerful tool is life insurance: after eight years, it provides reduced taxation and serves as a powerful wealth transfer tool.
Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized investment funds (FIP and FCPI) can grant tax reductions of up to 25% of the invested amount, depending on the applicable rules.
These are just a few examples! Our consultants are ready to assist you uncover the most effective tax-reduction paths for maximum tax reduction.
What should I do in case of a tax audit?
Your starting point is to thoroughly examine the request from the tax authorities to determine which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A solid response relies on the provision of relevant documentation, such as invoices, account statements, or agreements, to support the truthfulness of your tax declaration.
It is essential to adhere to the deadlines, as delays may result in fines.
Generally, the tax administration provides a 30-day period to send in the necessary documents.
To avoid any errors that could make things worse, it is prudent to get expert advice, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are detected, negotiated outcomes exist.
Negotiation can help lessen financial consequences and close the case under the best conditions.
With our specialized skills and certification with French fiscal institutions, we provide a precise and protected management of these procedures, so you can feel confident when facing a tax audit.
What is the difference between a tax advisor and a tax lawyer?
The functions of tax advisors and tax lawyers are different yet complementary, but they differ in their areas of intervention and the needs they address.
A tax consultant, such as French Tax Online, helps private clients and companies in managing their tax affairs efficiently.
Their experience helps legally reduce taxes, ensure accurate tax filings, and implement optimal tax planning.
Their approach is risk-avoidant, aiming to minimize audit risks.
In contrast, a tax lawyer is trained in litigation and tax procedures, who primarily intervenes in tax disputes and litigation.
They are qualified to defend taxpayers in court and manage litigation procedures.
Their role becomes critical when negotiations with tax authorities fail and court representation becomes necessary.
