How is investment income taxed?

Investment income, including dividends, is subject to taxation in France at a flat tax rate of 30%. This rate consists of 12.8% income tax and the remaining 17.2% as social charges.

This tax treatment applies not only to investment income but also to rental income and capital gains derived from investments.

Declaring Investment Income

Like with other types of income, taxpayers must declare investment income annually during the designated tax declaration period.

For certain investment products such as assurance vie, it is possible to request the provider to disclose your investment directly to the tax authorities. If this option is available and utilised, you will not need to include the investment income in your tax declaration.

At Harrison Brook, we understand the complexities of the French tax system and the unique needs of our clients. That’s why we collaborate with experienced French tax advisers who can provide comprehensive guidance tailored to your specific financial circumstances.
