FAQ: Tax Advisory Services
What are the responsibilities of FTO as a tax advisor in Rennes?
We aim to assist both individuals and businesses in navigating and enhancing their tax situation in France.
This includes:
- Optimization of your tax position
- Annual tax declarations
- Support for expatriates
- Handling of fiscal responsibilities

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, notably via tax schemes such as the LMNP status, which grants significant tax benefits.
Life insurance is also a strong lever: after eight years, it provides reduced taxation and serves as a strategic wealth transfer tool.
Investments in SMEs and certain funds (FIP, FCPI) can offer tax reductions of up to 25% of the invested amount, under certain conditions.
These strategies are only part of the picture! Our advisors are here to help you find the most suitable tax strategies for greater tax savings.
What should I do in case of a tax audit?
The initial step is to thoroughly examine the request from the tax authorities to understand which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A well-prepared response relies on the provision of strong supporting documents, such as invoices, account statements, or contracts, to demonstrate the accuracy of your tax declaration.
It is crucial to adhere to the deadlines, as delays may cause penalties.
Generally, the tax administration grants 30 days to send in the necessary documents.
To prevent missteps that could worsen the situation, it is highly recommended to get expert advice, like us.
If errors or omissions are found, negotiated outcomes exist.
Discussions may help reduce sanctions and settle the matter under the optimal terms.
With our in-depth knowledge and registration with the French tax administration, we ensure a rigorous and secure management of these procedures, so you can feel confident 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 focus on different aspects of taxation.
A tax advisor, like French Tax Online, assists taxpayers and business owners in improving their tax efficiency.
Their experience helps decrease taxes in compliance with the law, handle tax declarations properly, and follow effective tax approaches.
Their approach is preventive, aiming to minimize audit risks.
A tax lawyer, on the other hand, is a specialist in tax law, who primarily manages tax disputes and litigation.
They are empowered to represent clients in court and plead before tax courts.
Their role becomes decisive when negotiations with tax authorities fail and legal defense is required.
