How can I legally reduce my income tax?
You can legally reduce your income tax in France using several effective methods.
Investing in property is a powerful tax optimization tool, notably via tax schemes such as the furnished rental status (LMNP), which provides significant tax benefits.
You can also consider life insurance: after eight years, it enables reduced taxation and serves as a valuable wealth transfer tool.
Participation in FIP and FCPI funds can offer tax reductions of up to 25% of the invested amount, subject to eligibility.
These strategies are only part of the picture! Our tax experts can help you choose the best ways to optimize your tax situation for greater tax savings.
What should I do in case of a tax audit?
Step one 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 submission of reliable supporting evidence, such as bills, bank statements, or contracts, to prove the validity of your tax declaration.
It is important to meet the deadlines, as missing the deadline may result in fines.
Generally, the tax administration provides a one-month deadline to supply the information.
To reduce the risk of error that could increase the risk of sanctions, it is strongly advised to consult a tax professional, like us.
If mistakes or oversights are detected, non-contentious options can be arranged.
Negotiation can help limit fines and reach a solution under the most favorable terms.
With our specialized skills and certification with French fiscal institutions, we provide a reliable and compliant 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 individuals and businesses in minimizing their tax burden.
Their experience helps legally reduce taxes, handle tax declarations properly, and follow effective tax approaches.
Their approach is forward-looking, aiming to minimize audit risks.
A tax lawyer, on the other hand, is a specialist in tax law, who primarily deals with conflicts with tax authorities.
They are entitled to plead cases in tax litigation and manage litigation procedures.
Their role becomes critical when administrative talks break down and judicial action is needed.
