Property Rental Values

Optimize and Reduce Your Business’s Local Taxation

Our consultants review all elements involved in calculating your property rental values, including declarations, tax notices, and valuation methods. These parameters are used by the Tax Administration to determine your assessments.


Audit Report Deliverables

Following a comprehensive review, our audit provides:

  • Potential savings your business can achieve.
  • Identified risks associated with current practices.

You will receive clear insights to independently validate the opportunities for savings and determine the next steps to take.

Our team of consultants, composed of jurists and tax lawyers, handles all legal aspects of the mission, ensuring a seamless process.


Identify Savings in Your Local Taxes

We verify the calculation of your property rental values (Taxe Foncière & CFE) in compliance with current regulations, using the Urban Property and Accounting Methods.

Our consultants gather the necessary documents for tax declarations and provide a detailed audit report, including:

  • The legal framework and site organization.
  • Analysis and validation of the evaluation method used by the administration (e.g., risk of requalification).
  • Consideration of mergers and restructurings.
  • Identification of specific immovables associated with manufacturing processes.
  • Review of accounting practices related to immovables.
  • Categorization and qualification of assets.
  • Line-by-line reconciliation of asset listings to pinpoint inactive or specific assets.
  • Collection and duplication of invoices and documentation.

Your BDO consultant ensures the coherence of invoices with the initial asset ledger. They also identify potential adjustments, considering asset invoices, corporate restructurings (e.g., mergers, demergers), and applicable favorable jurisprudence.

In many cases, revised asset files uncover discrepancies in tax assessments. Where applicable, exemption requests may be submitted. Your consultant evaluates these opportunities and guides you through the necessary steps.

To Validate the Calculation of Your Rental Property Values (Property Tax & CFE), your BDO consultant collects the required documents and then presents the following in their report:

  • A reconciliation between the submitted declarations and the plans/square footage of your premises.
  • Validation of the calculation methods used by the tax authorities, for both existing and pre-reform taxes (1970 rental value, revised rental value).
  • Analysis of the segmented areas of your commercial premises.
  • Examination of the weighting coefficients applied by the administration.
  • Review of potential exemptions based on your specific situation.
  • Identification of possible over- or under-assessments.

Based on the audit results, the consultant identifies optimization levers and supports you with administrative procedures.
