Resident of the United States: what taxes for acquiring real estate in France?

For a resident of the United States, acquiring real estate in France immediately raises a broader question than the purchase cost: How will this French asset fit into a tax situation already attached to the US system?

Mode of holding, financing, use of property, future income, property taxation and prospect of resale must be studied together from the outset.

Investor tax status transforms acquisition analysis

Property for personal use, rental or investment strategy is not structured in the same way.

The firm analyses the French and American consequences of the project in order to compare the different options of holding and to identify the most coherent solutions with the investor profile.

In particular, the issue is to avoid that an attractive structure in France will then produce adverse effects in the United States, or vice versa.

The quality of a property tax strategy is measured throughout the investment cycle.

It is therefore necessary to anticipate the possible collection of rents, the taxation of property, the circulation of flows, future resale and, where appropriate, transmission.

The firm's expertise consists in modeling these different stages before acquisition in order to direct the customer towards the structure offering the best balance between taxation, flexibility and retained net worth.
