FAQ on Local Taxation
How can the office tax in Île-de-France (TSB) be reduced?
A legal and tax analysis of the property category can be an effective way to optimize the TSB.
For example, premises rented as offices may be considered commercial premises for the purposes of calculating the office tax. If these premises are located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, this classification process may result in an exemption or a reduction of approximately 70% in the tax.
A detailed analysis of the floor space and use of your premises can also help you save money. In fact, certain areas are exempt from the tax and therefore do not need to be included in the tax calculation.
How can I minimize my property tax?
In addition to seeking exemptions, owners and beneficial owners of commercial properties can reduce the cost of this tax by optimizing the assessed rental value on which the property tax is based.
To optimize your property tax base, we assist you in reporting your properties and their characteristics, as well as in challenging, if necessary, the rates set by the department and applicable to your property.
An audit of your situation makes it possible to identify instances of overtaxation, in particular by comparing the classification and characteristics (tax rate, location coefficient, flat-rate assessment, smoothing, etc.) of your premises with the comparables used by the tax authorities.
