Real estate taxation

The tax cost of a property, from purchase to sale, in Switzerland and in France.

Our approach

Purchase, ownership, rental or sale: each stage in a property’s life has its own taxes. We anticipate them, from real estate gains tax to transfer taxes, so that your decisions rest on precise figures and your returns are accurate.

Scope and expertise

Purchase

Transfer duties (registration duties in Geneva), direct purchase, through a real estate company (SI) or a French property holding company (SCI).

Ownership

Rental value, deductible maintenance costs, cantonal property tax, wealth tax.

Sale

Real estate gains tax depending on the holding period, deferral when the main residence is replaced.

Properties in France held from Switzerland, and vice versa

Capital gains, French real estate wealth tax (IFI), SCI.
