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 />
