What is a ‘Société Civile Immobilière (SCI)'?
Tuesday 15 June 2010
We are pleased to release our free guide to the Société Civile Immobilière (SCI), a company structure for the ownership of French property.
In the guide we consider the following issues:
- i. What is an SCI?
- ii. SCIs and Multiple Ownership of French Property
- iii. Transfer of French Property through an SCI
- iv. SCIs and French Inheritance Laws
- v. Tax Implications
- vi. Business Use
- vii. Setting up an SCI
- viii. Running an SCI
The use of an SCI is by no means self-evident, whatever you may be advised by a notaire or legal advisors (who would of course expect to earn fee income from creating it for you!).
You can read the guide at Société Civile Immobilière (SCI).
