    How can I legally reduce my income tax?

    There are several legal ways to reduce your income tax in France.

    Real estate investment, for example, is an effective strategy, notably via tax schemes such as the LMNP status, which offers significant tax benefits.

    You can also consider life insurance: after eight years, it enables reduced taxation and serves as a powerful wealth transfer tool.

    Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized investment funds (FIP and FCPI) can lead to tax reductions of up to 25% on the amount invested, depending on the applicable rules.

    These are just a few examples! We’re here to guide you identify the best tax-saving opportunities for greater tax savings.

    What should I do in case of a tax audit?

    Your starting point is to carefully analyze the request from the tax authorities to determine which documents are required and which period is concerned.

    A solid response relies on the submission of strong supporting documents, such as invoices, account statements, or agreements, to prove the truthfulness of your tax declaration.

    It is essential to meet the deadlines, as missing the deadline may trigger sanctions.

    Generally, the tax administration offers thirty days to respond to the request.

    To avoid any errors that could make things worse, it is wise to get expert advice, like us.

    If errors or omissions are identified, friendly settlements exist.

    Amicable negotiation may minimize penalties and settle the matter under the optimal terms.

    With our expertise and registration with the French tax administration, we guarantee a reliable and compliant management of these procedures, ensuring reassurance 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.

    Professionals like French Tax Online guide individuals and businesses in managing their tax affairs efficiently.

    Their knowledge helps lower tax bills within legal limits, ensure accurate tax filings, and adopt the best fiscal strategies.

    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 intervenes in conflicts with tax authorities.

    They are entitled to represent clients in court and manage litigation procedures.

    Their role becomes indispensable when administrative talks break down and judicial action is needed.
