Non-resident professional furnished letting: income test assessed against earned income taxed in the country of residence

To qualify as a professional furnished landlord, furnished letting receipts must exceed €23,000 a year and exceed the household's other earned income subject to income tax (Article 155, IV of the CGI (General Tax Code)). For a taxpayer not tax-resident in France, the 2026 budget act now compares these receipts with earned income of the same kind subject to a tax equivalent to income tax in their country of residence.

Measure impact

Concerns non-residents letting furnished property in France: the predominance test takes account of their earned income taxed abroad, not only their French-source income. According to the amendment's explanatory statement, the European Commission considered the previous rule discriminatory against non-residents.
