FRENCH TAX ON AMERICANS
Those Having "HabituaI Residence"
in France Are Classified and
Must Pay.

The monthly bulletin Of the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce describes
the new French income tax, especially
as it affects foreigners residing in
France, says the New York Sun,
Article 6 OF the law says "A
general income tax is due on January
! of each year from all persons hay
ing a habitual residence in France
Those persons are considered to have
habitual residence in France who
have dwelling ut their disposition
either as propTietors. benefciaries by
usufruct or tenants. when in the lat
ter case the lease is arranged either
by single agreement or by success
sive agreements for a continuous pc.
Rod Of az least one year"
Article IL says. AS far as per-
sons not domicled in France, but
having orr or more residences there
are concerned, the taxable income is
fixed at a sum equal TO seven times
the rental value OF such residence or
residences unless the income derived
by tbs taxpayer from properties, en-
terpriscs or professions located or ex
ercised in France reaches a higher
figure, IN which case the latter amount
is taken for the basis OF the tax"
Americans living in Paris or else
where in France are thus divided by
law into two olasses-those pursuing
gainful business or professional oc-
cupation and those who do not Those
not engaged in business must pay a
tax, their income being estimated at
seven times tho rental value of the
one or moro establishments which
they contract TO take for a continuous
period OF one year. Those engaged in
business whose income exceeds seven
times the rental value of their one or
more places Of residence must make
a declaration of their total income
from French sources only. The law
does not apply in the case Of tho lat
ter to income derived from property
held elsewhere than In France.
