A tax representative is the point of contact of the French tax authorities on behalf of a taxpayer who lives abroad. They carry out the filing formalities in the taxpayer’s place and, depending on the case, are liable for payment of the tax due.

In principle yes, if you live outside France. You are exempt if you reside in a Member State of the European Union or of the EEA that has concluded an administrative assistance agreement with France, if the sale price does not exceed €150,000, or if the capital gain is fully exempt because of the holding period.

Yes. Since Brexit, the United Kingdom is no longer a member of the European Union. British residents who sell a property located in France must appoint a tax representative, unless exempt because of the sale price or the holding period.

A company established outside the European Union that carries out taxable transactions in France must in principle appoint a tax representative, unless it is established in a country that has concluded a mutual assistance agreement with France. Companies established in the European Union do not need to appoint a tax representative. To be supported, they may nevertheless appoint a tax agent (mandataire fiscal) who will obtain a VAT number for them and take charge of their filing obligations.
