Maître Vincent Vialard works in legal English and assists English-speaking clients with French tax matters:
A tax lawyer is worth involving as soon as a situation carries a tax stake, a risk of reassessment or a complex decision. These are the situations in which clients most often turn to VV Avocat, a tax law firm in Toulouse working with clients in France and abroad.
The tax authorities have opened an audit, are asking for supporting documents or have notified a reassessment. Replying within the time limit often shapes the outcome: your tax lawyer prepares every exchange with the inspector and drafts the written response.
Get support during the auditA reassessment was upheld despite your observations, a relief claim was refused or a penalty seems unjustified. Appeal to the supervisor, tax committees, formal claim, then court: each route has its own deadlines.
Challenge a reassessmentTax regime, capital gains, VAT on real estate, IFI, rental income: every transaction sets the tax position for years. It should be structured upfront and documented to stand up to a future audit.
Secure your investmentCorporate income tax, VAT, merger, contribution or sale, dividends, transfer pricing: SMEs, groups and business owners get advice on choosing the regime and carrying out the transaction.
Structure your transactionGifts, split ownership, Dutreil agreements, life insurance, IFI: the options are compared with figures before you decide, so that wealth passes on under sound tax conditions.
Plan your successionTax residence, moving abroad, French Exit Tax, investing in France from another country, tax treaties. Cases are handled in English or in French, working with notaries and accountants abroad.

Client Testimonials
What clients say about their tax lawyer in Toulouse.
Individuals, business owners and expatriates describe how VV Avocat handled their tax audit, their real estate transaction or their business taxation.
Tax audit
“As an SME director, I was facing a particularly complex tax audit. The VV Avocat firm guided me step by step, explaining each stage and effectively defending my interests. The tax adjustment was significantly reduced, and I felt supported from beginning to end.”
Real Estate Taxation
“Thanks to Maître Vialard, we were able to optimally structure the sale of our property. Everything was explained clearly, and we were able to save a significant amount in taxes. The firm's professionalism and responsiveness were exemplary.”
Corporate Taxation
“As an English-speaking expatriate living in Toulouse, I struggled to understand French taxation and my tax obligations as an entrepreneur. Maître Vialard was able to explain each step to me in English, with great clarity and patience. Thanks to him, I was able to regularize my situation and manage my business with complete peace of mind.”
An accountant prepares your returns and may assist you during an audit. A tax lawyer designs the defence strategy, drafts the observations and appeals, and represents you before the administrative court. The two professions regularly work together.
Fees vary depending on the complexity of the case. At VV Avocat, the first consultation is set at €150 excl. VAT. Subsequently, fees can be based on time spent (€200-€350/hour excl. VAT), a flat fee, or include a success fee.
Yes.

Do not face the authorities alone. A tax lawyer can analyze the proposal, prepare a response within 30 days, contest the adjustments, and, if necessary, initiate an appeal before the competent courts. Deadlines, grounds and how to structure your reply: responding to a proposed tax reassessment.
As soon as a major financial decision has a tax angle (property investment, estate planning, setting up or selling a business, an international move), as soon as a letter arrives from the tax authorities (tax audit notice, request for explanations, proposed reassessment), or as soon as a dispute arises with the tax office. The earlier you seek advice, the more options remain open. If the letter you received is a tax audit notice, read: what to do when you receive a French tax audit notice.
