The French reform of wealth taxation is now in force

The French Parliament adopted on 6 July 2011 a major reform of wealth taxation (Finance Act for 2011). Some deputies made a claim in front of the Constitutional Council considering that some articles were against the principle of equality of the taxpayers.

The new law dated 29 July has been officially published on the 30th July and is now in force.
