Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ on Corporate Taxation
How much will my restructuring cost me?
In France, there are numerous preferential tax regimes, which are granted either by law or upon approval.
We have tools available to make restructuring your company or group easier—and much less expensive. But keep in mind: no single tax “formula” applies as-is; you need to be both creative and realistic.

How Should You Manage Your Business from a Tax Perspective?
Effective tax management is that which ensures legal certainty and tax optimization.
This balance can be a source of challenges, particularly due to recurring changes in legislation, which can sometimes pose a risk to the company and other times lead to cost savings.
We believe that tax planning does not pose a risk as long as it is properly implemented and meets an economic or legal need of the company.
A regular audit of your company’s tax situation, conducted jointly by your tax attorney and your certified public accountant, will help you avoid paying more tax than necessary while protecting your company in the event of a tax audit.

How can I retain key employees in my company?
Many tools—some better known to the general public than others—already exist: stock options, bonus shares, BSPCE, preferred stock, management companies, and so on. However, the key is always a tailored approach.
Here, too, we find the most suitable approach to motivate “rising stars” or proven key managers by offering them a stake in the company’s profits or equity. We work with both established companies and startups.

How can payroll taxes be reduced in holding companies?
The primary purpose of a holding company is to manage the equity interests of its subsidiaries. It may also provide technical services to its subsidiaries, including legal, administrative, and financial services.
In this case, the company is subject to VAT only on its technical services. The remainder of its revenue comes from services that fall outside the scope of VAT.
If revenue excluding VAT accounts for at least 10% of total revenue, the company will be liable for payroll tax. This tax, ranging from 4.25% to 13.60% of gross salary, applies to the salaries of company employees who work exclusively in the financial sector (investment management) or in both the commercial sector (provision of technical services) and the financial sector. These individuals are most often executives and accounting department staff.
To reduce payroll tax costs, it is possible to create separate commercial and financial divisions and assign employees to each division.
This optimization must be developed in a structured and precise manner. We assist you in establishing these divisions and making decisions regarding the assignment of the company’s employees, as well as in putting in place evidence that is sufficiently admissible before the tax authorities.
