How can I legally reduce my income tax?
In France, many legal strategies exist to lower your income tax.
Investing in property is a powerful tax optimization tool, especially through tax schemes such as the LMNP (Non-Professional Furnished Rental) scheme, which can lead to significant tax benefits.
Life insurance is also a strong lever: after eight years, it comes with reduced taxation and serves as a strategic wealth transfer tool.
Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized investment funds (FIP and FCPI) can offer tax reductions of up to 25% of your investment, depending on the applicable rules.
These strategies are only part of the picture! Our advisors are here to help you choose the best ways to optimize your tax situation for improved tax efficiency.
What should I do in case of a tax audit?
Your starting point is to thoroughly examine the request from the tax authorities to identify which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A solid response relies on the availability of relevant documentation, such as bills, account statements, or agreements, to support the accuracy of your tax declaration.
It is essential to respect the deadlines, as not replying in time may result in negative consequences.
Generally, the tax administration grants thirty days to respond to the request.
To minimize mistakes that could complicate matters, it is highly recommended to consult a tax professional, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are identified, non-contentious options can be arranged.
Amicable negotiation may limit fines and resolve the issue under the best conditions.
With our expertise and official recognition by French tax services, we guarantee a thorough and safe management of these procedures, giving our clients peace of mind when facing a tax audit.
What is the difference between a tax advisor and a tax lawyer?
The roles of a tax advisor and a tax lawyer complement each other, but they focus on different aspects of taxation.
A tax consultant, such as French Tax Online, helps private clients and companies in optimizing their taxation.
Their skills helps achieve tax savings lawfully, submit returns without error, and implement optimal tax planning.
Their approach is risk-avoidant, aiming to minimize audit risks.
Unlike a tax advisor, a tax lawyer focuses on tax law and disputes, who primarily manages contentious tax situations.
They are empowered to plead cases in tax litigation and argue cases on their behalf.
Their role becomes critical when administrative talks break down and court representation becomes necessary.
