How can I legally reduce my income tax?
In France, many legal strategies exist to lower your income tax.
Real estate remains a smart way to reduce your taxes, thanks to tax schemes such as the LMNP (Non-Professional Furnished Rental) scheme, which provides significant tax benefits.
Life insurance is another option: after eight years, it offers reduced taxation and serves as a powerful wealth transfer tool.
Participation in FIP and FCPI funds can offer tax reductions of up to 25% of your investment, depending on the applicable rules.
These are just a few examples! We’re here to guide you choose the best ways to optimize your tax situation for improved tax efficiency.
What should I do in case of a tax audit?
Your starting point is to carefully analyze the request from the tax authorities to identify which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A well-prepared response relies on the submission of justifying paperwork, such as bills, bank statements, or agreements, to support the truthfulness of your tax declaration.
It is vital to adhere to the deadlines, as failure to respond within the given timeframe may cause negative consequences.
Generally, the tax administration provides 30 days to submit the requested documents.
To reduce the risk of error that could complicate matters, it is highly recommended to seek assistance from a tax expert, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are detected, friendly settlements exist.
Negotiating with the tax office can minimize penalties and reach a solution under the most favorable terms.
With our expertise and registration with the French tax administration, 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 differ in their areas of intervention and the needs they address.
Professionals like French Tax Online guide taxpayers and business owners in managing their tax affairs efficiently.
Their experience helps legally reduce taxes, file tax returns correctly, and follow effective tax approaches.
Their approach is risk-avoidant, aiming to minimize audit risks.
In contrast, a tax lawyer is trained in litigation and tax procedures, who primarily handles conflicts with tax authorities.
They are authorized to represent clients in court and plead before tax courts.
Their role becomes critical when amicable solutions are no longer possible and legal defense is required.
