So why is my accountant in Montreal talking about a tax due on death on assets nobody has sold?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Canada has 119,545 French nationals on the consular register as at 31 December 2025: it is the <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">fifth-largest destination worldwide<\/strong>, and one of the most stable. It is also the one where the phrase \u201cthere is no inheritance tax\u201d does the most damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">It is both true and misleading. Canada levies no gift or inheritance tax as such. But on death, it treats the deceased as having <em>disposed<\/em> of their assets at fair market value, and taxes the resulting capital gain. So the tax does exist; it has another name, hits another base, and is calculated on the unrealised gain built up since acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">At <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">Balmont Conseil<\/strong>, we treat Canada as a case with two overlapping estate tax systems \u2014 the Canadian one, which taxes a capital gain, and the French one, which taxes a transfer of wealth. The good news is that a clause in the tax treaty governs how they meet. You still need to know how to invoke it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:34px;line-height:1.2;margin:56px 0 16px;font-weight:700\">1.

This is inaccurate: the income tax treaty, as amended in 1995, expressly deals with the case of death and provides for Canadian tax to be credited against French duties. We systematically check its application, as it often accounts for a significant share of the savings achieved on a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\"><strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">The \u201cexit tax\u201d row is a cash-flow constraint, not a foregone conclusion.<\/strong> Canada is among the countries where deferral requires an express request, a tax representative and the provision of guarantees.

But on death, Canada treats the deceased as having disposed of their assets at fair market value and taxes the corresponding capital gain in the deceased&#039;s final tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">On assets held for a long time, the bill can be substantial. It is not an inheritance tax but an income tax \u2014 and that difference in nature has significant practical consequences, notably for the tax credit mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Will I be taxed twice, in Canada and then in France?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Not in full. Article 23 \u00a7 2 c) of the treaty of 2 May 1975, as amended by the 1995 protocol, provides that France deducts from its gift and inheritance tax an amount equal to the Canadian tax paid on gains taxable in Canada on death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">This deduction is capped at the share of French tax relating to the assets concerned: it reduces the double charge, but does not always remove it. The calculation needs to be done precisely, and it rarely is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Why is the exit tax more restrictive for Canada than for other countries?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Because automatic deferral of payment requires the host country to have agreed with France both an exchange-of-information clause and a clause on assistance in recovery. Canada has the first, but not the second as regards income tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">As a result, deferral must be requested, and it comes with guarantees. It is a cash-flow issue, not an impossibility, but it must be anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Does Quebec change anything?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Yes, in two ways. For tax, a separate France\u2013Quebec agreement of 1 September 1987 sits alongside the federal treaty. For estates, Quebec follows civil law, which makes some of its rules more familiar to French people \u2014 notably on notarial wills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">In practice, your province of residence affects both your marginal tax rate and the cost of settling your estate. We take this into account from the initial wealth review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Will my French rental income still be subject to CSG?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Yes, at the full rate of 17.2%. The CSG and CRDS exemption is reserved for people affiliated to a compulsory scheme of a European Economic Area state, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">The social security agreement between France and Canada, like the agreement with Quebec, coordinates pension rights. It does not give access to this exemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"border:0;border-top:1px solid #26323a;margin:46px 0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:34px;line-height:1.2;margin:56px 0 16px;font-weight:700\">In summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Canada is not the inheritance-tax-free country it is sometimes described as: it is a country where that tax goes by another name and hits another base. The Franco-Canadian treaty takes this into account, through a discreet but powerful clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">The point to watch lies upstream: on leaving France, without a clause on assistance in recovery, the exit tax requires guarantees.
