OUR PRACTICE AREAS

Tax and wealth engineering
in your best interests

Tax Audit

  • Assistance during a tax audit or accounting inspection
  • Challenging adjustments and rectification proposals
  • Amicable negotiation and contentious proceedings before the administrative court

Case study

The tax authorities disallow the deduction of your professional expenses. AQ Lawyer justifies their business purpose, limiting the reassessment and protecting your personal cash flow.

Optimisation

  • Legal reduction of income tax and wealth tax (IFI)
  • Selection and structuring of wealth vehicles
  • Property arbitrage and rental income optimisation

Case study

Your personal tax burden is at its peak. AQ Lawyer restructures your income and property assets to reduce your overall tax exposure and maximise reinvestment.

Estate Planning

  • Gifts and Dutreil agreements for business transfers
  • Succession planning and reduction of inheritance tax
  • Dismemberment of ownership and matrimonial engineering

Case study

You are transferring your business to your heirs. AQ Lawyer deploys a Dutreil agreement, reducing the taxable base by 75% to preserve the business.

Common situations

You are concerned if you recognise yourself

A high tax rate is not inevitable. We analyse your overall situation to identify the tax optimisation levers available to you, risk-free and in strict compliance with the law.

A tax audit is an adversarial procedure: you have rights. We assist you from receipt of the notice to prepare your defence, manage exchanges with the inspector and limit reassessments. AQ Lawyer handles tax audits as a priority, ensuring a swift response and immediate support from the outset.

Unfurnished letting, LMNP status, property holding company (SCI), dismemberment: the structures best suited to your property portfolio can significantly reduce your tax burden. We study your situation to build the most efficient solution.

Anticipating the transfer of wealth is one of the most powerful levers for reducing inheritance tax. Progressive gifts, dismemberment, life insurance: we design the strategy suited to your family and your objectives.

Wealth tax (IFI) can be managed through precise legal mechanisms. We identify assets eligible for exemptions and structure your holdings to minimise your taxable base.

The rules for calculating capital gains on property are complex and include allowances that are often overlooked. We review your assessment, identify any errors and defend your interests before the authorities.

Matrimonial regime, will, life insurance beneficiary clause: protecting the surviving spouse requires precise engineering. We build the solution that secures the transfer to your family without increasing the tax burden.

Understanding the process

Frequently asked questions

What does the Strategic Diagnostic Report contain precisely?

+

It is a detailed expert document analysing your situation from three angles: tax, wealth and legal. It identifies your areas of risk exposure (reassessment, tax overburden, succession vulnerability) and lists unexploited optimisation opportunities, together with a costed action plan ready to be implemented.

Is the action plan immediately applicable?

+

Yes. The report is your tax and wealth roadmap: each recommendation is prioritised, costed and ready to be acted upon. To go further, a bespoke engagement proposal will be submitted upon delivery of the diagnostic, enabling strategies to be implemented without delay.

What is the difference between a tax lawyer and an accountant?

+

An accountant prepares your returns and manages your accounts. A tax lawyer intervenes on strategy, defence and tax litigation. In the event of an audit or reassessment, only a lawyer can represent you before the courts and benefits from absolute professional secrecy, protecting all communications. The two roles are complementary, not substitutable.

Is it still possible to act if I have already received a rectification proposal?

+

Yes, and it is even urgent to do so. The tax audit procedure is adversarial: you have 30 days to respond to the rectification proposal. A well-argued response can significantly reduce the reassessments. We intervene at every stage of the procedure.

Is tax optimisation legal?

+

Absolutely. Tax optimisation consists of using mechanisms provided for by law to legally reduce your tax burden. It is distinct from tax evasion, which is illegal. Our role is precisely to guide you towards existing legal schemes suited to your situation, securing each arrangement against any risk of challenge by the authorities.

When is the right time to plan the transfer of one's estate?

+

As early as possible. The tax allowances on gifts are renewed every fifteen years: the earlier you begin, the more you transfer at a reduced tax cost. Waiting until death often means leaving a significant portion of the estate to the State. Even a modest anticipatory transfer strategy produces considerable effects over the long term.

Does the AQ Lawyer Diagnostic cover both personal and business taxation?

+

Yes. The diagnostic analyses your situation in its entirety: income tax, wealth tax (IFI), capital income taxation, corporate tax if you are a company director, anticipated succession duties. It is precisely this cross-cutting view, spanning both personal and professional aspects, that reveals optimisation opportunities often invisible when looking at a single compartment.

Are the fees for the diagnostic tax-deductible?

+

Yes, in the context of a professional activity. If the diagnostic relates to the taxation of your business or activity, the fees constitute deductible management expenses, reducing the actual net cost. For the personal wealth sphere, fees may, subject to conditions, be offset against certain rental income.
