REGISTRATION FEES

Registration fees are payable upon acquisition of the property. All sales of property or real estate rights are subject to the registration fee. Regarding the acquisition of real estate, whether built or not, its amount is 5% of the declared value.
All rights and fees (notary, registrations, land registration, etc.) are between 6 and 7% depending on the nature and amount of the transaction (land to be built, villa built).
There are certain separate rates applicable to business transfers, for example, or other specific transactions.
The notary is in charge of calculating and collecting this tax when drafting the authentic purchasing deed.

APPRECIATION TAX

A appreciation tax on real estate is due on all capital gains realized on the sale of property or real estate rights, whether built or not, located in the Territory of the Collectivity. This tax is common to French law applicable throughout the territory.
Real estate appreciation tax is the difference between the purchase cost of the property (initial purchasing price plus costs and fees and deductible work) and its resale price.
It is possible to exclude the value of the furniture sold with the property from the calculation of the capital gain and the registration rights.
The real estate appreciation tax consists of:
* 35% when the sale takes place before the eighth year of ownership, beyond that, the rate is reduced to 20%. A 10% reduction for each year of detention beyond the eighth is applicable.
