You are a leaseback owner paying 300€ to 500€ for your annual tax and VAT return.

Are you satisfied?
Is it good value for money?

  • What do you do if rent is not being paid, if you are paying more tax than you should or you are paying co-ownership fees that you are not responsible for?
  • How do you ensure that the lease contract is correctly enforced by the management company?
  • Are you aware that the majority of lease contracts say that part of the land tax (taxe fonciere) should be refunded by the management company (approx 80€ per year) and only 5% of owners do it effectively?
  • Are you aware that most French accountants do not ask for VAT refund on specific expenses you paid at signature of the deed which can total 400€?
  • Do you think that it is appropriate to pay a French accountant that has been selected by the developer? Do you think it would be more appropriate to have an independent company preparing your tax and VAT return and for the same price as you currently pay we will also:

    1. Increase the return of your leaseback property:

    • Tax relief for "taxe d'habitation", "TV tax", "professional tax" etc… (from 300 to 450€)
    • Invoice the household refusal tax to the management company (approx 80/120€ per year)
    • Ask for VAT refund on expenses that have never been taken into account (from 250 to 450€)
    • Attend annual meeting of owners in order to protect your interests
    • Check the split of community expenses between tenants and owners
    • Check the correct rent index application


    2. Recover unpaid rent and change your management company:

    • Launch amicable rent recovery
    • Prepare "commandement de payer"
    • Find a mortgage arrangement during the replacement of the management company
    • Replace the management company
    • Set up a self-management structure
