Tax representation By making a taxable real estate capital gain in France, you are required to appoint a\u00a0<\/span>tax representative<\/span><\/a>\u00a0approved by the French tax administration (CGI, article 244 bis A).<\/span><\/span>
Since January 1, 2015, this obligation only applies to non-residents domiciled or established outside the European Union, Iceland and\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Norway\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0.<\/span>
This modification has considerably reduced the market for tax representation of non-residents.<\/span>
This results in much greater competition between the few players in this niche of activity.<\/span>
As lawyers, we are frequently approached by these companies who are short of work.<\/span>
This can of course become an opportunity for the consumer.<\/span>
By consulting us, we will advise you effectively to find the service provider who will offer you the best price for this service.<\/span>
In addition, the reform gives more work to the notary who must provide the service previously provided by the tax representative.<\/span>
This work is a source of responsibility for notary offices which have an increasing tendency not to reason in favor of the taxpayer.<\/span>
Do not hesitate to consult our law firm which will guarantee you only pay what you owe, and nothing more, to the tax authorities.<\/span>
We recently saved a client 120,000 euros, proof that the analysis of these real estate capital gains files must be entrusted to lawyers who are experts in the field.<\/span>

WHEN DO YOU REALIZE A GAIN ON THE SALE OF A PROPERTY?<\/span><\/h2>\n

You realize a capital gain on the sale of real estate when you sell real estate located in France (whether it is land or a building) or rights relating to such property (usufruct , bare ownership, right of elevation, etc.) (CGI, article 150U).<\/span><\/p>\n

Likewise, the tax regime for real estate capital gains will apply when: \u2013 you transfer shares in a predominantly real estate company, whatever its form or tax regime (income tax or corporate tax ) (CGI, art. 150 UB) \u2013 you are a partner in a partnership subject to income tax in the property income category (mainly real estate partnership) up to your share in the results of this company when it transfers a building located in France or rights relating to such a building (CGI, art. 150 U).<\/span><\/p>\n

DO YOU NEED TO APPOINT A TAX REPRESENTATIVE?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you are not a resident of France on the day of the sale, French law requires you to appoint a tax representative to be able to carry out your sale if you are domiciled or established outside the European Union, Iceland and Norway (CGI, Sch II, art 171c).<\/span>
If the seller is a natural person not domiciled in France The appointment of a tax representative is mandatory:<\/span>
\u2013 when the sale price is greater than \u20ac150,000<\/span>
\u2013 and the property has been held for less than 30 years<\/span>
\u2013 regardless of the amount of the capital gain, and a fortiori in the event of a capital loss<\/span>
If the seller is a company or organization with its head office outside France, the appointment of a tax representative is mandatory in all cases, regardless of the sale price and the period during which the entity has owned the property. GOOD If the seller is a partnership<\/span><\/span>
with its head office in France and not subject to corporate tax \u2013 If all the partners are natural persons: the appointment of a tax representative will be obligatory\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>if\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0the share held by the non-resident partners is greater than \u20ac150,000 and the property has been held for less than 30 years;\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
