    FAQ: Tax Advisory Services

    What are the responsibilities of FTO as a tax advisor in Clermont-Ferrand?

    Our goal is to help both individuals and businesses in managing and optimizing their tax situation in France.

    We provide support with:

    • Reducing your tax burden
    • Preparation and submission of tax returns
    • Help for French residents abroad
    • Management of tax obligations
    • Audit support in partnership with our legal team

    How can I legally reduce my income tax?

    France offers multiple compliant strategies to minimize your income tax burden.

    Investing in property is a powerful tax optimization tool, especially through tax schemes such as the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP) status, which offers significant tax benefits.

    Life insurance is another option: after eight years, it offers reduced taxation and serves as a valuable 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, subject to eligibility.

    These are only a few of the many options available. Our tax experts can help you uncover the most effective tax-reduction paths for maximum tax reduction.

    What should I do in case of a tax audit?

    The initial step is to properly assess the request from the tax authorities to clarify which documents are required and which period is concerned.

    A comprehensive response relies on the provision of reliable supporting evidence, such as bills, bank statements, or agreements, to support the compliance of your tax declaration.

    It is essential to adhere to the deadlines, as delays may result in penalties.

    Generally, the tax administration provides a one-month deadline to submit the requested documents.

    To reduce the risk of error that could make things worse, it is strongly advised to consult a tax professional, like us.

    If inaccuracies or gaps are detected, non-contentious options can be arranged.

    Negotiating with the tax office can minimize penalties and close the case under the best conditions.

    With our experience and official recognition by French tax services, we ensure a reliable and compliant 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?

    Both tax advisors and tax lawyers play key, but distinct, roles, but they operate in different areas and serve distinct purposes.

    A tax consultant, such as French Tax Online, helps taxpayers and business owners in minimizing their tax burden.

    Their knowledge helps decrease taxes in compliance with the law, file tax returns correctly, and adopt the best fiscal strategies.

    Their approach is forward-looking, aiming to avoid risks of tax reassessment.

    Unlike a tax advisor, a tax lawyer focuses on tax law and disputes, who primarily handles tax disputes and litigation.

    They are qualified to represent clients in court and argue cases on their behalf.

    Their role becomes essential when an agreement with the administration can’t be reached and a legal confrontation is unavoidable.
