Given the current concerns about the tax relationship with France, Overseas Chambers is well placed to give advice and practical solutions to those Islanders who have French properties and French source income which may become subject to increasing pressure from the French administration.

What is more, it is now increasingly important to review existing finance of French property through either Jersey or French banks.

It is also the time to review any corporate or similar indirect property holding structures, whether held through family trustees or otherwise.

In short, now is the time to review current arrangements and adjust these as appropriate for 2014.

There are solutions, even were the worst to happen : just ask for the help needed!
