Mestre Tax Advisor

About Mestre Tax Advisor

Based in Cagnes-sur-Mer near Nice, Mestre Tax Advisor was set up in 2024 by Maud Mestre, a tax representative with more than 15 years of international tax experience that includes positions at Deloitte and PwC. The practice helps both residents and non-residents of France meet their French tax obligations and states particular expertise with American and British citizens, with a website available in English. Its core work is preparing, filing and monitoring income tax and real estate wealth tax returns, including the declaration of foreign income before and after a move to France and the filings linked to leaving the country such as exit tax. It also advises on eligibility for the impatriate and expatriate regimes, stock options and restricted stock units, tax residence and treaty questions, and assists with tax regularisations and requests from the authorities. The firm states that it is not an accounting or law firm and works with partner accountants, lawyers and notaries.
