Local taxation

Our lawyers work equally well with medium-sized companies, large French or international groups or public institutions, with close collaboration that guarantees personalised treatment for every case.  
 
We cover the CET; the IFER [flat-rate distribution network tax]; calculating added value; the land tax on built and non-built property; the household waste removal tax (TEOM); the tax on offices, commercial premises, and warehouses in Ile-de-France; the TLPE [local tax on outdoor signage] and the TASCOM [tax on commercial surface areas]; residence tax; hotel occupancy tax; and the tax on vacant housing or commercial brownfield sites.

Our expertise is organized into three ways of providing assistance: advice, litigation, and auditing. 
We are therefore able to support you in the day-to-day management of your local taxes, negotiating with the tax authorities (tax audits, re-records, etc.), selecting the sites for facilities and scheduling transfer operations, foreseeing the effects of a reorganisation operation, and examining exemptions and obligations to declare. 
 
If necessary, we can also take your case through the pre-litigation and litigation phases, acting as your representative before the tax authorities or the administrative courts and courts of appeal. In addition, we can conduct a complete audit of your position: reconstitution of bases; verification of taxation; verification of tax reductions and tax relief provided for by statute; and determination of the added value on which tax is based. 
 
Our specialists are recognised for their ability to handle all the issues involved in such matters and are frequently called upon by professional organisations to help them negotiate with the tax authorities.
