Key issues in international real estate taxation

Investing abroad or in France

The acquisition of an international property can have tax consequences in several states. The determination of the country competent to impose rental income, capital gains or certain assets depends on complex rules which should be analysed before any transaction.

The firm intervenes in order to secure international real estate investments and to identify the solutions best suited to the economic and economic objectives of its clients.

Structure of international investment

The choice of how to hold a real estate asset is a strategic issue. Direct detention, civil society, holding company, foreign company or international investment vehicle: each structure has specific tax consequences which should be assessed under the relevant legislation.

Appropriate structuring ensures secure investment while taking into account development, transmission and heritage governance objectives.

Tax residence and international conventions

The tax residence of the owner, the location of the building and the application of international tax treaties directly influence the tax treatment of real estate income and transfer gains.

The firm assists its clients in the analysis of tax treaties in order to limit the risks of double taxation and secure their tax obligations in each of the states concerned.

Anticipating international tax controls

Tax administrations are now exchanging increasing information on assets held abroad. International real estate investments are thus subject to increased vigilance, particularly where several jurisdictions are concerned.

Upstream support is used to verify the conformity of tax returns, identify possible risk of recovery and prepare evidence that may be required under international tax control.

A Comprehensive Approach to International Heritage Taxation

Beyond real estate taxation, every investment must be understood in its overall heritage environment. The tax consequences may relate to the transfer of assets, family restructuring, changes in tax residence, professional investment or international financing operations.

In particular, the firm supports expatriates, non-residents, international investors, managers and families with real estate assets distributed in several states, offering them a tax strategy adapted to their objectives and in line with the requirements of different tax administrations.
