French-Chinese Tax Lawyer: Structure a tax strategy between France and China

The Franco-Chinese tax system requires that the rules applicable in both States be linked with the treaty provisions which organize the distribution of the power to impose.

Tax residence, business income, dividends, investments, equity, real estate or divestiture transactions must be examined in a comprehensive manner in order to avoid unnecessary tax friction and to preserve the economic value of transactions.

Anticipating taxation before structuring the operation

An establishment in China, an investment from France, international mobility, a transfer of securities or the collection of income in both countries can produce very different tax effects depending on the structure chosen and the timing chosen.

The tax strategy is to assess all these parameters in order to identify the most coherent patterns with the taxpayer's or business's objectives.

This may include the way assets are held, the organisation of flows, the location of certain functions, the structuring of an investment or the modalities of a future sale.

Seeking a Tax Efficient Organization

The tax performance of a Franco-Chinese situation is not measured separately in each jurisdiction. It depends on how the two systems revolve around the client's project.

The firm accompanies this reflection in order to identify the most relevant structuring and optimisation solutions, to reduce the overall tax burden where possible and to maintain an architecture consistent with the economic reality of the operation.
