This stability tells you something \u2014 expatriations to Mexico last.<\/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 community has grown up around industry: Baj\u00edo, Quer\u00e9taro, Monterrey, Mexico City. Many of the people we work with have been there for more than ten years, have bought locally and have children who stayed in France.

The feature: the treaty of <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">7 November 1991 removes withholding tax on dividends<\/strong> paid to the beneficial owner. The gap: <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">no treaty covers inheritance<\/strong>. At <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">Balmont Conseil<\/strong>, we start from these two findings, verified in the text.<\/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.

Paragraph 2 reintroduces taxation at source, capped at 5%, in the specific case of a company more than half owned by residents of third States. For an executive receiving dividends from their French company, the difference from an ordinary treaty is immediate.<\/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 elimination method, however, is that of modern treaties.<\/strong> Article 21 grants a tax credit equal to the French tax on the income concerned, rather than the exemption with effective rate found in older treaties. The result is less favourable when local tax is low \u2014 the opposite of Brazil and Tunisia.<\/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\">Assistance in recovery does not cover gift and inheritance tax.<\/strong> Annex BOI-ANNX-000508 recognises it for income tax and VAT, but not for inheritance tax. The comfort of the exit tax deferral therefore does not extend to inheritance, which remains without a treaty.<\/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\">What we do not show.<\/strong> The detail of Mexican domestic tax law \u2014 ISR, state inheritance taxes, local reporting obligations \u2014 is not shown in this table: we have not verified it in an up-to-date primary source.

No treaty covers inheritance or gifts.<\/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 dividends be subject to withholding tax?<\/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\">In principle, no. Paragraph 1 of Article 10 reserves the taxation of dividends to the State of residence of the recipient alone, provided they are the beneficial owner.<\/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\">Paragraph 2 reintroduces taxation at source, capped at 5%, in the specific case of a company more than 50% owned by residents of third States. Beneficial owner status has to be demonstrated: it is not presumed.<\/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\">Is the deferral of payment of the exit tax automatic for a move to Mexico?<\/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. Mexico has, with France, the two clauses required by Article 167 bis of the French Tax Code: exchange of information and mutual assistance in the recovery of 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\">The deferral therefore applies as of right, with no tax representative and no guarantees to provide. This is what sets Mexico apart from Brazil, where the deferral must be requested.<\/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\">What happens to my estate if I die in Mexico?<\/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\">In the absence of a treaty, two systems apply side by side. France taxes under Article 750 ter of the French Tax Code: assets located in France, all assets if you were domiciled there, and all assets received by an heir domiciled in France for at least six of the last ten years.<\/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\">Mexico applies its domestic law to assets located on its territory. The assistance in recovery recognised between the two countries does not cover gift and inheritance tax either: nothing corrects any double taxation.<\/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\">I bought a flat in Mexico City through a company: is that a problem?<\/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\">This depends on the composition of the asset. Article 13 of the convention assigns to the State where the property is located the right to tax gains from securities which derive, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of their value from real estate located in that State, at any time during the 365 days preceding the transfer.<\/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 test focuses on a period, not a date: a structure calibrated on the day of the sale is not sufficient. It must be reviewed before the acquisition.<\/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 pay CSG on my French income?<\/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% on your French-source property income and real estate capital gains. The partial exemption applies only to people covered by a scheme in the European Economic Area, 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\">On a let property, this item weighs more than income tax itself: it must be included in any yield simulation made before departure.<\/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\">Mexico offers a rare advantage on dividends, an exit tax deferral as of right, and a complete vacuum on inheritance.<\/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\">Because stays there last and local wealth builds up, it is precisely the inheritance vacuum that ends up costing. It is dealt with while the two estates can still be separated.<\/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\">Firm&#039;s fees: \u20ac500 incl.
