Frequently Asked Questions

In Greece, the main types of taxes include income tax, corporate tax, value-added tax (VAT), property tax, and various other taxes and duties.

The income tax rate in France varies depending on your income level. It is progressive, with rates ranging from 11% to 45%.

Foreign investors in France do not receive specific incentives, but the government provides an extensive program of tax benefits and development subsidies aimed at promoting investments in less developed regions.

The maximum tax rate in France can reach 45%, but non-residents typically experience lower tax rates. Thanks to the PAYE system, many non-residents are exempt from filing a French income tax return. For those subject to withholding tax, the rates vary from 0% to 20%, depending on the total taxable income.

In cases where withholding tax rates are not applicable, French non-residents are taxed at a rate of 20% on their income sourced in France. However, for French-sourced income exceeding €27,519, the income tax rate increases to 30%.
