Property abroad
If you are a French tax resident selling real estate located abroad, or if you live abroad and are selling real estate in France, we can estimate the capital gains tax due.
French Tax resident
A French tax resident who sells real estate located abroad is, in the absence of a tax treaty between France and the country where the property is located, subject to the same taxes and duties as if the property were located in France.
Where a tax treaty exists, it generally provides that capital gains arising from the sale of real estate are taxable in the country where the property is located.
If you have realized a capital gain outside mainland France or the overseas departments, and this income is not exempt from tax in France under an international tax treaty, you must file Form No. 2048-IMM within one month following the sale.
If the capital gain realized abroad is exempt from tax in France, you do not need to file Form No. 2048 in addition to Form No. 2047.
We can assist you by providing an estimated capital gains calculation and helping you complete Form .
Non résident in France.
You live abroad and are selling a property in France.
You are not eligible for the tax exemptions that apply to a primary residence; however, a specific exemption may be available for your property located in France, provided certain conditions are met.
Capital gains tax for individuals and partnerships is subject to a flat-rate levy as well as social contributions.
We provide guidance to help you reduce costs.
