An address in Nice that can reduce your CFE

Our address, right in the centre of Nice, is situated within an area subject to a specific administrative classification. Depending on your business activity and circumstances, this may entitle you to a reduction in the business property tax (CFE).

The scheme

Up to 5 years' full exemption, followed by a sliding scale.

The scheme provides for a 100% exemption from the CFE for 5 years, followed by a gradually decreasing reduction (60%, then 40%, then 20%) over the following 3 years.

This information is provided for guidance only (scheme under Article 1466 A I septies of the French General Tax Code). It does not constitute a guarantee of eligibility nor personalised tax advice: your situation will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. A registered address alone is not sufficient — the exemption requires the business to be genuinely established.
