PRACTICAL CASE<br />

La Vie en France*<br />

Tax Treatment of a French société civil immobilière in the United Kingdom<br />

Richard Frimston, Solicitor <strong>and</strong> Notary Public, London<br />

<strong>and</strong> R. A. D. Urquhart, Scrivener Notary, London <strong>and</strong> Avocat à la Cour de Paris<br />

Summary<br />

French sociétés civiles immobilières are often used to<br />

acquire <strong>and</strong> hold residential properties. They are also<br />

used by foreigners acquiring vacation homes in France,<br />

as the succession is governed by the succession law applicable<br />

to movable property (whereas the succession in<br />

immovable property situated in France is governed by<br />

French succession law).<br />

Until recently, in the United Kingdom, the gains of an<br />

individual member of a société civile immobilière have<br />

been taxed as gains of the individual, with the benefit of<br />

double taxation relief. Now, however, the English tax authorities<br />

have suggested that they consider the société<br />

civile immobilière as equivalent to a seperate legal entity<br />

also for tax purposes <strong>and</strong> would tax the société rather<br />

than the individuals. Frimston <strong>and</strong> Urquhart discuss the<br />

consequences of this change.<br />
