Fees, timelines and guarantees: comparing accredited tax representatives before signing is the best way to avoid overpaying for your fiscal representation in France. ACCREDITAX contacts several accredited providers on your behalf and sends you a personalised summary within 48 to 72 business hours.

Why Compare Accredited Tax Representatives

The market for fiscal representation in France includes several dozen providers accredited by the tax authority. Their fees vary considerably, as do their processing timelines and contractual guarantees. For the same file, the cost difference between two representatives can reach several thousand euros – a figure worth verifying before you commit.

The difficulty for non-resident sellers is that they typically encounter this profession at the point of sale. Without any benchmark, they tend to accept the first proposal they receive without knowing whether it represents good value. ACCREDITAX exists precisely to close that information gap: we do the comparison on your behalf so that your decision is based on actual figures.

The accredited tax representative is a mandatory intermediary when a non-resident sells property in France for more than 150,000 euros. Their role is to calculate the capital gain, file the tax return and pay the withholding tax to the French tax authorities on your behalf. This obligation makes the choice of provider all the more important: the representative commits alongside you, and any error or delay can have direct financial consequences.

What ACCREDITAX Compares for You

We send your file to a selection of accredited providers and compile their responses into a single document covering:

• Fees: the total cost charged for the mission, including the declaration and any subsequent monitoring.
• Timelines: the average time to submit the declaration to the tax authorities after the deed of sale is signed.
• Contractual guarantees: the scope of liability, indemnity clauses and the conditions under which the contract can be terminated.

We do not publish a static rate table. Instead, we calculate a real, contractual proposal based on your specific file. That is what distinguishes a personalised comparison from a generic marketing brochure.

How to Request Your Comparison

The process is straightforward. You will need:

• Your country of tax residence (USA, United Kingdom, UAE, Switzerland, Canada, Australia or other).
• The planned or agreed sale price.
• The original acquisition date of the property.
• Your email address, so we can send you the summary.

Your data remains strictly confidential. It is used solely to contact the accredited representatives and is not shared without your consent. You will receive your personalised comparison within 48 to 72 business hours.
