VAT reclaim service for investors with new-build rental properties in France
Did you know that as an international property investor, you may be eligible to reclaim a significant portion of the VAT (TVA) paid on your French property purchase?
New-build properties in France are typically subject to a 20% VAT charge — but in many cases, much of this can be recovered.
At Property Tax International (PTI Returns), we specialise in helping non-resident investors reclaim their maximum VAT refund through a fast and convenient online process.

Need help with your French property VAT refund ?
What are the requirements for a French property refund application?
- The purchase needs to be a newly built buy-to-let
- Your property must be furnished
- The real estate should not be your primary residence
- You must be renting it out on a short-term basis (you cannot rent your property for the whole year or season for instance)
- You must be offering your tenants at least three “para hotel” services
- The French Tax Administration grants the VAT rebate only if you rent out your real estate for a period of 20 years (or more). If you stop renting out your property after 5 years, you will have to pay back part of the refund that you have received
