How can I legally reduce my income tax?
In France, many legal strategies exist to lower your income tax.
One effective strategy is real estate investment, thanks to tax schemes such as the furnished rental status (LMNP), which provides significant tax benefits.
You can also consider life insurance: after eight years, it enables reduced taxation and serves as a valuable wealth transfer tool.
Investments in SMEs and certain funds (FIP, FCPI) can lead to tax reductions of up to 25% on the amount invested, subject to eligibility.
And that’s just the beginning! 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?
The initial step is to properly assess the request from the tax authorities to understand which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A well-prepared response relies on the submission of justifying paperwork, such as invoices, bank statements, or agreements, to demonstrate the compliance of your tax declaration.
It is vital to comply with the deadlines, as failure to respond within the given timeframe may result in fines.
Generally, the tax administration provides 30 days to supply the information.
To reduce the risk of error that could make things worse, it is strongly advised to consult a tax professional, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are noted, friendly settlements exist.
Negotiating with the tax office can minimize penalties and reach a solution under the most favorable terms.
With our expertise and certification with French fiscal institutions, we guarantee a thorough and safe management of these procedures, for your full confidence 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 differ in their areas of intervention and the needs they address.
Tax advisors like French Tax Online support private clients and companies in managing their tax affairs efficiently.
Their expertise helps legally reduce taxes, submit returns without error, and adopt the best fiscal strategies.
Their approach is preventive, aiming to reduce the likelihood of tax disputes.
In contrast, a tax lawyer is trained in litigation and tax procedures, who primarily handles legal tax matters and disputes.
They are empowered to plead cases in tax litigation and plead before tax courts.
Their role becomes indispensable when an agreement with the administration can’t be reached and court representation becomes necessary.
