01
Your French tax return
Becoming a French tax resident brings new obligations, often alongside those of your home country. We prepare your return and make sure you are taxed once, and correctly.
Avoiding double taxation
We apply the tax treaty between France and your home country and claim the credits you are entitled to. Your income is not taxed twice.
Impatriate tax regime
Recruited from abroad or relocated by your employer? We check whether you qualify for the French impatriate regime and its exemptions.
Real estate wealth tax (IFI)
If your real estate assets exceed €1.3m, we assess and file your IFI return. New residents may be taxed only on their French assets for their first five years.
US citizens and others taxed abroad: we coordinate with your home-country tax preparer.
