Wealth taxation plays a central role in any wealth management strategy. It determines the real return on investments, influences financial trade-offs, and shapes the effectiveness of wealth transfer arrangements. Understanding tax mechanisms helps avoid costly mistakes and optimise the structuring of wealth over the long term.
Income tax, marginal tax bracket, flat tax (PFU), social security contributions, real estate or securities capital gains, IFI, allowances, exemptions… each tax concept follows specific rules. Their impact varies depending on personal circumstances, marital property regime, the nature of the income, and the investment horizon.
An effective wealth strategy is not about seeking a complete absence of tax, but about organising assets in a way that is consistent with your objectives: generating income, growing capital, preparing for retirement, or passing on wealth. Taxation then becomes a structuring parameter.
This section of the glossary brings together the main concepts related to the taxation of wealth and income. It will help you better understand the tax levers available and the issues associated with each wealth decision.
