Non-Professional Furnished Landlord (LMNP) Taxation
LMNP status makes this project far more powerful than a standard rental purchase
A simulation showing why LMNP status attracts so many investors
Using a 25-year term as a readable benchmark, the monthly repayment comes to around 1,347 € / month, excluding insurance and ancillary costs.
With a target rent of around 1,300 € / month, the monthly savings effort remains relatively low. A sale after 30 years (tax-neutral) can build up a deposit for a property in Switzerland.
LMNP becomes very attractive under the actual-expense regime as costs and the accounting depreciation of the property significantly reduce the taxable income in France.
On a project of this type, the goal is to get as close as possible to near-zero tax on rental income throughout the loan period
An attractive structure in France and Switzerland
- In France, the goal is to neutralise the tax burden on rental income as much as possible through the LMNP actual-expense regime.
- On this type of project, we therefore aim to minimise French tax as much as possible over several years if the structure is well calibrated.
- In Switzerland, the property and rental income must still be declared, but mortgage interest, property costs and the tax deduction (20% in VD, 25% in GE) reduce the impact on your Swiss tax rate.
- The aim is therefore not just to "pay less in France", but also to limit as far as possible the impact on your Swiss tax rate.
- The right structure is one where financing and French and Swiss taxation work together in your favour.
The simulation we offer below provides a first look at your wealth project. The final tax calibration will need to take into account your income, your canton of residence, your mortgage interest and the actual financial data of the property being rented out.
