Tax lawyer specializing in international real estate taxation

Holding, acquiring or assigning real estate abroad does not only raise a question of local taxation. The transaction must be assessed in terms of the owner's tax residence, international agreements, the method of holding retained and the taxation applicable to income, capital gains and transmission.

The firm intervenes on cases in which several tax systems overlap and require strategic analysis.

Organize an international real estate heritage

The direct holding of a building, the use of a foreign company, the interposition of a French structure or the introduction of specific financing can produce very different tax effects.

The analysis must also include the taxation of rents, reporting obligations, possible withholding at source, the taxation of the transfer and the consequences of a future change in tax residence.

Anticipate the effects of an acquisition or international assignment

In international real estate transactions, a decision taken in one State may have fiscal consequences in another. The firm intervenes precisely on these coordination situations in order to identify risks, compare possible patterns and secure the structure chosen.

The aim is to build a international real estate tax strategy consistent with asset location, investor's personal situation and long-term heritage objectives.
