Tax and legal guidance in France

You can enter the French market in various ways. Are you opting on doing this with your Belgium company or are you subsuming your activities into a new French company? Is a branch going to be sufficient? Together with you, our team goes through the various options and selects the most suitable structure.

French real estate

Purchasing French property always influences your tax situation, both in Belgium and in France. That's why we look into how best to structure the purchase of your own property. This specifically concerns the consequences for your income tax, VAT, property tax, inheritance tax and capital gains tax.

French accounting and VAT

Are you performing activities in France or leasing property? In that case, it might be you also have to do your own accounting there, or have VAT obligations. Those happen to be some of our specialities. We offer support when performing accounting, requesting or cancelling your French VAT number, and submitting VAT declarations. 

Social representation in the event of secondment

Do you, as a Belgian company, temporarily post employees to France? If so, it is best to take into account a number of important formal obligations. For example, you must declare the services in advance and appoint a social representative who can speak to the labour inspectorate at any time and produce the necessary social documents. In addition, there are mandatory provisions of French labour law to respect. Our team will be happy to support you in complying with your obligations.
