Welcome Tax Meeting On Arrival – Relocation Services

OUR FRENCH TAX ADVISORS GUIDE YOUR CLIENTS THROUGH WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE INTRODUCTORY WELCOME TAX MEETING

Getting acquainted with a new tax system is much easier when people have someone to walk through the process with them. If any of the following describe the situation of your clients, Elitax could help them by holding a Welcome Tax Meeting:

• Your client has just moved, or is planning to move to France and they want to know the rules for taxes in France.
• You can work with Elitax and include a tax assistance in your package of services for your clients.
• You are an employer who has seconded an employee to France or hired an expat to work in France. Upon an expatriate’s arrival in France, as well as on their departure, you are obliged to inform them about their tax liabilities in France.
• You are a relocation company and wish to include tax assistance in your package of services for your clients.

Elitax offers a tailored service to help newcomers to France: the Welcome Tax Meeting. We’ll spend time with your clients, explaining everything they need to know about French tax rules. Each meeting is bespoke and delivered in a professional, friendly manner.

How does it work?

In a three to four-hour session, one of our consultants will explain the French tax system to your clients by means of a slideshow.

To start with, we first address issues of tax residency. Then, we explain the various direct and indirect taxes to which a tax resident — and, in some cases, tax non-resident — are subject.

We also discuss income tax rules in France. What is covered under taxable income? What is meant by a taxable household? How and when must an income tax return in France be filed? What are the penalties for late filing and payment? Detailed documentation is provided as part of the presentation.

The presentation can be delivered on a one-to-one basis, either face-to-face or via Skype. Over the following 12 months, the client will have access to one of our tax advisors at no extra cost, in order to discuss and address specific tax issues.

What are the benefits of a Welcome Tax Meeting?

Individuals who are unfamiliar with French tax law will benefit from Elitax’s 17 years of experience. Our meetings are tailored to your clients situations, so we can guarantee that they receive the best help available
