How can I legally reduce my income tax?
France offers multiple compliant strategies to minimize your income tax burden.
Real estate remains a smart way to reduce your taxes, thanks to tax schemes such as the LMNP status, which offers significant tax benefits.
Life insurance is also a strong lever: after eight years, it enables reduced taxation and serves as an excellent wealth transfer tool.
Participation in FIP and FCPI funds can grant tax reductions of up to 25% of the invested amount, if specific criteria are met.
And that’s just the beginning! Our advisors are here to help you choose the best ways to optimize your tax situation for maximum tax reduction.
What should I do in case of a tax audit?
Step one is to review in detail the request from the tax authorities to identify which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A comprehensive response relies on the availability of relevant documentation, such as bills, bank statements, or contracts, to support the validity of your tax declaration.
It is important to adhere to the deadlines, as missing the deadline may trigger fines.
Generally, the tax administration offers thirty days to supply the information.
To avoid any errors that could complicate matters, it is prudent to consult a tax professional, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are noted, friendly settlements exist.
Amicable negotiation may reduce sanctions and reach a solution under the optimal terms.
With our experience and accreditation with the French tax authorities, we guarantee a rigorous and secure 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 serve different functions depending on the situation.
Tax advisors like French Tax Online support taxpayers and business owners in minimizing their tax burden.
Their knowledge helps decrease taxes in compliance with the law, submit returns without error, and adopt the best fiscal strategies.
Their approach is forward-looking, aiming to reduce the likelihood of tax disputes.
In contrast, a tax lawyer is trained in litigation and tax procedures, who primarily manages legal tax matters and disputes.
They are empowered to act on behalf of clients before a judge and conduct proceedings for their clients.
Their role becomes essential when administrative talks break down and court representation becomes necessary.
