What is taxable property?
Real estate wealth tax applies to houses, apartments, land, historical monuments and all other real estate built or under construction, as well as undeveloped property. If the property in question is a principal residence, a deduction of 30% is applied. The shares of civil society of real estate investment (SCPI), of civil society of real estate (SCI) and land actions are also taxable. In case of usufruct, the taxable share is assumed by the bare owner and the usufructuary.
IFI and exemptions
Certain real estate may be partially or fully exempt:
- Furnished rentals: total exemption for all goods governed by the professional furnished rental status (LMP).
- Shops, premises and other professional real estate: total exemption if their purpose is to exercise a professional activity. The activity in question must be the main activity carried out by the owner of the property or by his spouse.
- Rural goods: partial exemption if they are rented by a long-term lease.
- Goods from forestry groups: partial exemption of 75%, if the owner agrees to manage and maintain his property over the long term.
- Paintings and other works of art: total exemption.
- Company savings plans (PEE), stock savings plans (PEA), securities accounts and other financial investments: total exemption.
- Shares of non-operator agricultural land groupings: partial exemption.
Calculation of taxable net wealth
If your property cannot be fully exempted at the IFI, you will have to assess your taxable net worth to know the amount of tax payable. To make this calculation, you must take into account two main components, assets and liabilities. The liabilities correspond to deductible debts. These include, in particular, the sums paid for the construction or renovation of your property, certain taxes such as property tax and other debts associated with taxable property actions or the acquisition of property.
