Settling in France might be a great idea, but understanding the tax system in France might not be the easiest task. This difficulty is more visible when it comes to the topic of inheritance and donations while residing in France. A hot topic, full of controversy that no professionals seems to be able to address clearly. If you are a foreign national and residing in France temporarily and permanently you ought to know the fiscal consequences of any inheritance or donations event, is my surviving spouse going to be taxed? Are my kids going to be any special taxes ? even if they reside abroad ? a lot of questions that we will try to address together.
