Residential address and taxes in France

If you are currently living in France, you are most likely a French tax resident. 

In general, your tax residence is the country/jurisdiction in which you live. 

In some cases you may be a tax resident in more than one country/jurisdiction at the same time or not be a tax resident of France

For more information on tax residence, please consult your tax adviser or the OECD automatic exchange of information portal (new tab).

If you have a tax residence outside France, we may be legally obliged to pass on certain information with respect to your financial accounts to the French tax authorities (Direction des Finances Publiques) and they may exchange this information with tax authorities of another jurisdiction or jurisdictions pursuant to intergovernmental agreements to exchange financial account information or local law.

You can also find out more, including a list of jurisdictions that have signed agreements to automatically exchange information, along with details about the information being requested, on the OECD automatic exchange of information portal (new tab).
