The weight of local taxation has become a major challenge as regards tax management for corporations located in France. The regulation, which is more and more complex, calls for a clear understanding of a possible range of action. Reorganization operations, key moments of the corporation life, require the anticipation of their tax consequences.

Our expertise fully covers contributions and local taxes:

• Business use tax and its limitation assessed on added value (until 2009)
• Minimum contribution based on added value (until 2009)
• Local trading contribution (as from 2010)
• Additional contribution assessed on added value (as from 2010)
• Real estate tax on built and unbuilt land
• Tax on offices, business premises and warehouses in the Paris area
• Levy on large retail stores greater than four hundred square meters (TASCOM)

Our team, having developed a recognized expertise as regards business use tax, is fully invested in the current reform, notably by taking part in various think-tanks on the subject. Arsene Taxand will thus immediately be in a position to help you anticipate its effects, some resulting in significant savings, and others involving a noticeable increase in the corporation’s taxation. Taking into account these developments beforehand is essential and may in some cases lead to reconsider the location and the companies’ organization methods.
