How can I legally reduce my income tax?
In France, many legal strategies exist to lower your income tax.
Real estate investment, for example, is an effective strategy, 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 offers reduced taxation and serves as an excellent wealth transfer tool.
Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized investment funds (FIP and FCPI) can grant tax reductions of up to 25% on the amount invested, depending on the applicable rules.
These are only a few of the many options available. 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?
Your starting point is to carefully analyze the request from the tax authorities to clarify which documents are required and which period is concerned.
A comprehensive response relies on the availability of relevant documentation, such as invoices, bank statements, or contracts, to prove the compliance of your tax declaration.
It is essential to adhere to the deadlines, as missing the deadline may trigger sanctions.
Generally, the tax administration allows 30 days to respond to the request.
To reduce the risk of error that could make things worse, it is strongly advised to consult a tax professional, like us.
If errors or omissions are noted, non-contentious options exist.
Negotiating with the tax office can reduce sanctions and close the case under the most favorable terms.
With our in-depth knowledge and registration with the French tax administration, we guarantee a reliable and compliant management of these procedures, ensuring reassurance 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 serve different functions depending on the situation.
A tax consultant, such as French Tax Online, helps taxpayers and business owners in managing their tax affairs efficiently.
Their skills helps decrease taxes in compliance with the law, handle tax declarations properly, and implement optimal tax planning.
Their approach is proactive, aiming to prevent tax issues.
Unlike a tax advisor, a tax lawyer focuses on tax law and disputes, who primarily intervenes in legal tax matters and disputes.
They are authorized to represent clients in court and manage litigation procedures.
Their role becomes decisive when amicable solutions are no longer possible and legal defense is required.
