Tax residence and international taxation: organizing a coherent strategy between several jurisdictions

Tax residence does not only determine the country in which a taxpayer is taxed.

It influences the way its foreign income is understood, the treatment of its capital gains, the holding of its assets, the application of tax treaties and the structuring of its international investments.

As such, it is often the first parameter of a cross-border tax strategy.

A change of residence can change the balance of a whole heritage

Departure from France, installation abroad, return, occupational mobility or shared life between several countries: each scenario can lead to a complete review of the tax situation.

The firm analyses not only the residency criteria, but also the consequences that a change in attachment can have on all the income and assets involved.

This approach allows for the identification of favourable effects, friction points and arbitrations that deserve to be anticipated before mobility is definitively initiated.

Tax residence must be considered with future operations

An assignment, investment, dividend distribution, property reorganization or transmission can be treated very differently depending on the country of residence at the time they intervene.

The firm's expertise consists of integrating these transactions into a forward-looking vision: comparing scenarios, analyzing applicable conventions and determining the timing or structuring that would produce the most efficient tax result.
