How can I legally reduce my income tax?
In France, many legal strategies exist to lower your income tax.
Real estate investment, for example, is an effective strategy, particularly using tax schemes such as the furnished rental status (LMNP), which provides significant tax benefits.
You can also consider life insurance: after eight years, it comes with reduced taxation and serves as a valuable wealth transfer tool.
SME investments or tax-advantaged funds like FIP and FCPI can provide tax reductions of up to 25% on the amount invested, under certain conditions.
And that’s just the beginning! Our tax experts can help you identify the best tax-saving opportunities for greater tax savings.
What should I do in case of a tax audit?
The initial step is to properly assess the request from the tax authorities to identify which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A well-prepared response relies on the availability of relevant documentation, such as bills, account statements, or contracts, to support the accuracy of your tax declaration.
It is crucial to adhere to the deadlines, as missing the deadline may result in fines.
Generally, the tax administration grants a one-month deadline to submit the requested documents.
To minimize mistakes that could worsen the situation, it is prudent to consult a tax professional, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are found, amicable solutions exist.
Negotiating with the tax office can minimize penalties and resolve the issue under the most favorable terms.
With our experience and accreditation with the French tax authorities, 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?
A tax advisor and a tax lawyer have complementary roles, but they focus on different aspects of taxation.
A tax advisor, like French Tax Online, assists individuals and businesses in managing their tax affairs efficiently.
Their skills helps lower tax bills within legal limits, handle tax declarations properly, and implement optimal tax planning.
Their approach is forward-looking, aiming to minimize audit risks.
Unlike a tax advisor, a tax lawyer focuses on tax law and disputes, who primarily manages conflicts with tax authorities.
They are empowered to defend taxpayers in court and manage litigation procedures.
Their role becomes decisive when an agreement with the administration can’t be reached and judicial action is needed.
