New French property tax to have ‘minimal’ impact
The impact of new French second home tax changes are likely to be “minimal”, with investors not expected to be put off purchasing homes in the country.
This is according to Assetz International, which noted that the destination’s proximity to the UK and appealing culture means that its status as one of the most popular countries for second home owners will not diminish.
However, the firm did claim that “less wealthy homeowners” will view the tax as an additional burden, adding that many already pay tax for local services, Overseas Property Professional reports.
“The additional tax looks like it will be minimal and will not discourage buyers from purchasing a holiday home in France,” Assetz concludes.
Under the plans, second home owners in France will incur a 20 per cent tax on their additional home. Something which Assetz believes will lead to an increase in the number of investors choosing to buy leaseback property.
