IR: MAINTENANCE OF 20% FOR THE LOWEST INCOMES

EXPATRIATE TAX, MAINTAINED AT 20% FOR THE LOWEST INCOMES

L’Assemblée Nationale a adopté, vendredi 14 décembre. Un amendement qui vise à limiter l’impact de la hausse de l’impôt sur le revenu pour les Français établis hors de France. Pour l’opposition, la nouvelle fiscalité reste néanmoins défavorable aux Français de l’étranger.

New twist in the Finance Bill 2019. The LREM deputies of the French abroad have proposed and passed a cap on the increase of the Income Tax. Lncome of less than €27,700 from French sources will remain subject to the 20% levy.

Last October, the Government announced " une série de mesures visant à refondre l’imposition des Français à l’étranger ».  Ayant pour objectif de « simplifier et rendre plus équitable l’impôt pour les expatriés ". The National Assembly had therefore adopted, on the proposal of the government. A non-liberal withholding tax calculated by applying the rate grid. By default used for the withholding tax on the income of residents. In doing so, the minimum tax rate applicable to the French source income of French nationals living abroad was raised from 20% to 30%. 

In parallel, the CSG-CRDS was abolished only for non-residents established within the European Union. Une « double peine » pour nos compatriotes établis hors d’Europe qui devaient dès lors non seulement continuer de payer la CSG de 17% sur leurs revenus fonciers. Mais voyaient aussi leur impôt sur le revenu augmenter de 50% sans contrepartie
