Looking for Financial Advice Valbonne?

Whether you are working or retired, organising your finances in France has never been more important.

Valbonne is a charming commune, home to nationalities from around the world. However, it’s beauty by no means protects its residents from a growing emphasis of wealth taxation in France (ISF – Impôt de solidarité sur la fortune).

With our local office in Mougins (opposite Mougins International School) Harrison Brook understand the financial planning needs of regional clients. Our expertise and experience in French Wealth Tax (ISF) Planning make our Financial Advice Valbonne a trusted and valued service for our clients each year.

✔  Tax Advice Valbonne

How can I eliminate or reduce my current and future French Wealth Tax (ISF)? This is a common question we hear from our clients. Our dedicated ISF article explains the tax and shares the experience of our local Harrison Brook team in Mougins.

The French Wealth Tax has existed since the Socialists Party 1981 programme and has swung with political agenda’s since:

  • 1986 – Abolished by Jaques Chiracs’s right-wing government
  • 1988 – Re-stablished as ‘Impôt de solidarité sur la fortune’ (ISF) after Mitterand’s re-election
  • 2011 – ISF significantly reduced during Sarkozy’s final year of right-wing politics
  • 2012 – Immediately reversed by Hollande as left-wing politics took rise again

French Wealth Tax is critical for individuals with assets and property in France over €800,000.

Although most of you probably will… try not to wait until it’s too late. Proactive financial planning can help avoid or reduce this tax not to mention passing on your assets to beneficiaries in the most tax-efficient manner possible!

✔  Retirement Planning

Expats often follow a transient lifestyle which prevents stable financial planning. As such, despite large salaries retirement and pension planning suffers. Harrison Brook offer the perfect solution to expats who wish to invest for their future.

With geographically portable the complexities of retirement plans in different countries are removed. The plan also grows in a tax-efficient investment area no matter where you may move or retire.
