Expats and foreign residents must also declare their income if they are fiscally domiciled in France or work within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, regardless of their residence status, are subject to declaration obligations for any income generated from rentals.

A life insurance policy is another advantageous option: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an excellent tool for transferring assets and tax optimization.
