Expatriation to France: which taxation aspects to take into account?

Moving to France involves several legal and taxation considerations. These include:

determining your tax residency status,
understanding local tax obligations,
managing international income,
avoiding double taxation by implementing double tax treaties mechanisms, and
ensuring compliance with French tax laws.

Additionally, expatriates must be aware of potential domestic tax reliefs or incentives available to them. Company directors and employees need to align their financial planning with both French regulations and their home country’s tax laws.

In addition, there are other elements to take into account such as:

social security contributions (i.e. in which country should you pay them? How much will it cost?),
labour law (i.e. what is the labour law applicable in your situation? What are the mandatory rules to include in the employment contract?),
immigration law (obtention of visa, resident permit and work permit).
