Many of our contacts have been there for over ten years, have bought property locally, and have children who remained in France. The issue is therefore no longer one of a mission, but rather one of a... <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">durable installation with French fasteners<\/strong>.<\/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 Franco-Mexican framework has a rare singularity and a clear gap. The singularity: the convention of <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">November 7, 1991 abolishes withholding tax on dividends<\/strong> for the benefit of the beneficial owner. The hole: <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">No agreement governs inheritances.<\/strong>.

Paragraph 2 reintroduces withholding tax, capped at 5%, in the specific case of a company more than half-owned by residents of third countries. For an executive receiving dividends from their French company, the difference compared to a standard tax treaty is immediately apparent.<\/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 method of elimination, on the other hand, is that of modern conventions.<\/strong> Article 21 grants a tax credit equal to the French tax on the income in question, rather than the exemption with an effective tax rate provided by older agreements. The result is less favorable when local tax is low\u2014the opposite is true for 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 with recovery does not cover inheritance tax.<\/strong> Appendix BOI-ANNX-000508 recognizes it for income tax and VAT, but not for inheritance tax.

No agreement covers inheritances 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 solely to the State of residence of the recipient, provided that he is 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 withholding tax, capped at 5 %, in the specific case of a company more than 50 % in ownership by residents of third countries. Beneficial ownership must 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 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 general tax code: exchange of information and mutual assistance in matters of collection for 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 stay of execution is therefore automatic, without the need for a tax representative or guarantees. This is what distinguishes Mexico from Brazil, where the stay of execution 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 in parallel. France taxes according to article 750 ter of the general 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 within its territory. Furthermore, the mutual assistance in tax recovery recognized between the two countries does not cover inheritance tax: nothing prevents a potential 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 an apartment 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 rental income and capital gains. The partial exemption applies only to those affiliated with 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 rented property, this item weighs more heavily than income tax itself: it must be included in any return simulation done 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, a deferral of exit tax by right, and a complete void on inheritances.<\/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 the facilities there endure and local wealth is built up, it is precisely the gap in the inheritance process that ultimately becomes costly. This can be addressed while the two estates are still separable.<\/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 including VAT per hour.<\/strong> Annual follow-up is offered.<\/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\">Let&#039;s review your situation<\/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\">A thirty-minute exchange is enough to assess your inheritance situation and verify whether you are truly entitled to the benefit of Article 10.
