The treaty of 28 May 1973 includes a chapter on inheritance, in Articles 30 to 37, as well as provisions on registration and stamp duties.<\/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 is a more complete framework than that of most destinations outside Europe, where no treaty governs the passing on of wealth.<\/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 shares be taxed in France or Tunisia upon my death?<\/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 France.

Here, they follow the issuer. A mixed Franco-Tunisian portfolio is therefore split line by line.<\/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 Tunisian income be taxed 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\">Article 29 provides that income exclusively taxable in Tunisia is exempt from French taxes, France retaining the right to calculate the tax at the rate corresponding to all of your taxable income according to its legislation.<\/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\">Certain categories \u2014 dividends, interest, directors&#039; fees, entertainers and sportspeople \u2014 follow a separate tax reduction mechanism. These provisions have to be claimed: they do not apply automatically to an incorrectly completed return.<\/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 deferral of payment of exit tax automatic for a move to Tunisia?<\/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. Tunisia has an information exchange clause and a recovery assistance clause with France, which annex BOI-ANNX-000508, updated on 8 October 2025, recognises for all taxes.<\/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: no tax representative, no guarantees to provide. Reporting obligations remain.<\/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 split my year between France and Tunisia: where am I a resident?<\/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\">The question is not settled by the number of days. Article 3 of the treaty sets out a tie-breaker grid: permanent home, then centre of vital interests, then habitual abode, then nationality.<\/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 grid combines with Article 4 B of the French Tax Code. In dual-residence cases, it is the evidence file built up over the years that decides, not the return filed after the event.<\/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 property rented in France, this item weighs more heavily than income tax itself.<\/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\">Tunisia offers a complete treaty framework \u2014 income, inheritance, registration, assistance \u2014 and a favourable elimination method inherited from older treaties.<\/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\">Its particularity lies in one rule: your securities follow their issuer&#039;s registered office, not your domicile. For wealth split between two shores, that is the line that decides the figures.<\/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.
