About Finance & Tax

Will I pay tax in both France and my home country?

It depends on your tax residency and which countries are involved. France has double taxation treaties with most countries, which generally prevent you from being taxed twice on the same income. The rules vary by income type (employment, rental, dividends, pension) and by country, so a tax adviser familiar with cross-border expat situations is worth consulting before you establish residency.

Do I need to declare foreign bank accounts in France?

Yes. French tax residents are required to declare all foreign accounts they hold, even dormant ones. This is done annually via form 3916 alongside your income tax return. Penalties for non-declaration can be significant, so it's not something to overlook.

What's the difference between a comptable and a conseiller en gestion de patrimoine?

A comptable handles bookkeeping, annual accounts, and tax filings. A conseiller en gestion de patrimoine advises on investment, inheritance planning, pension structures, and tax optimisation. Many expats need both, particularly those with assets in multiple countries.
