This is a very readable book, covering almost every aspect of taxation in France. While unable to go into the very fine detail of French tax law it certainly gives a very clear idea of how taxation operates in France. It has provided me with some essential pointers concerning income tax, capital gains tax and the taxation of pensions originating in the UK and elsewhere. It has certainly proved to be an eye opener and should be read by anyone who is resident in France.
I understand that the French law requiring that almost all one's assets should be left to one's children is likely to be changed shortly (2015?) as a result of changes under European law, but this has only recently been announced and is not covered in the book. On this point, as I understand it, it seems that one will be able to chose whether UK inheritance law should apply, or French law.

Not much one say about a tax book, as the subject is rather complex and not exactly exciting!
But this book is clearly written, well laid out and an excellent introduction to and explanation of French tax.
Strongly recommended if you want something on this subject. Every practioner should have one!
And having met the author, I can confirm she is a real expert.

What an eye opener! If you are seriously considering moving to France then this book is a MUST.
I have worked in France on and off for a number of years, but always for a UK company, now I really understand what my French friends and collegues were complaining about. The tax system is complicated and you will need a book like this to unravel what the French authorities mean, even the Inland Revenue in the UK are pussycats compared to the French authorities!!
Buy this and then Good Luck with your move to France. All your questions will be answered.
