Tax Law
Tax law, or "droit fiscal" in French, can be defined as the branch of law that encompasses all legal rules related to taxes. It involves the participation of legal subjects (both natural persons and legal entities) in the financial organization of the state and the expression of its economic and social policies.
Real estate ownership involves the right to enjoy and dispose of property in the most absolute manner, provided it is not used in a way that is prohibited by law or regulations (C. civ., art. 544). When it pertains to real estate, ownership involves various sometimes obscure civil law concepts, such as the right of accession, usufruct, alluvion, or joint ownership...
Real estate taxation primarily deals with the collection of property taxes. The taxation of rental income and real estate transactions is subject to numerous measures designed to help reduce the property owner's tax burden.
