Real estate in France to impose an additional tax
The French government has adopted a legislative amendment, under which landlords who give premises less than 14m ² for the amount of 30-45 euros / m ² (depending on the zone), and more, will pay an additional annual tax. Changes will take effect from 1 January 2012.
Tax will be levied an apartment with furniture or without, dealt to for more than nine months in areas where demand exceeds supply, such as in Paris. The rate for furnished studios will be a maximum of 10% and will vary depending on the zone.
Government Regulation must be reviewed every three years. The document contains a list of sites which will be levied a new tax.
