THE COREWAY CONSULTING METHOD
Five steps. One single point of contact.
A protocol, applied to each case.
A sound tax relocation strategy isn't about the destination. It's about the method. At Coreway Consulting, every case follows the same protocol, from the initial contact to the confirmation of your new residence. A protocol designed for a single purpose: to build a defensible situation, not a scheme that's merely a formality.
Everything is analyzed before any recommendation is made.
It all starts with an in-depth interview lasting 60 to 90 minutes.
We review your entire situation according to a precise analysis grid: structure of your income, real estate assets, unrealized capital gains, accounts and financial assets, family situation, personal constraints.
Each point has a purpose. Your net real estate assets trigger the French wealth tax (IFI) once they reach €1.3 million (Article 964 of the French General Tax Code, Service-Public.gouv.fr). Your shareholdings may expose you to the Exit Tax if they exceed €800,000 or 50% of a company's profits, after six years of French tax residency out of the ten preceding your departure (Article 167 bis of the French General Tax Code).
Your situation, quantified before and after.
Based on your profile, Coreway Consulting identifies the most suitable destination(s) and formulates a clear, reasoned and quantified recommendation.
You receive a before/after simulation. On one side, your actual French tax burden: a progressive scale which reaches 45% beyond €181,917 of taxable income (Finance Law for 2026 of February 19, 2026, Service-Public.gouv.fr), an effective pressure close to 49% on employment income once social security contributions are integrated (estimate, including CSG-CRDS), a flat tax of 30% on capital income (PFU, article 200 A of the CGI).
On the other hand, there's your target situation, including installation costs and identified points of concern. We never recommend a default destination. We recommend yours.
Expert assessments are activated and coordinated for you.
Once the destination is validated, Coreway Consulting activates all the necessary expertise on site.
You don't need to find any contacts or evaluate any service providers. Setting up the local structure, submitting the residency application, opening a bank account: everything is coordinated from a single point.
The residency we help establish is based on real criteria. French law recognizes four alternative criteria for tax residency (Article 4 B of the French General Tax Code): only one is sufficient to maintain your tax liability in France. A solid residency neutralizes them all, through an effective physical presence and a center of economic interests consistent with the destination.
One single point of contact, two jurisdictions communicating with each other.
Your Coreway Consulting contact remains your single point of contact, from start to finish.
It centralizes feedback, manages deadlines, and anticipates obstacles. Above all, it ensures consistency between your French tax advisor and local experts—two areas of expertise that, left to their own devices, cannot communicate. It is precisely in this space, between two jurisdictions unaware of each other, that the gaps arise.
The transition year is subject to specific treatment.
You remain liable for French taxes for the period during which you were a resident, which means you will need to file two tax returns that overlap for a few months (form 2042 and the return for the year of departure, available at impots.gouv.fr). We will organize this to prevent any uncontrolled double taxation.
A situation built to last over time.
Residence obtained, accounts opened, structure validated. Your new tax situation is in place.
The work doesn't stop there. A compliance check is organized at day 90 to verify the overall consistency of your situation, followed by support at 6 and 12 months depending on your case.
A tax situation is only as good as it is long-term. If a tax regime changes, or if your circumstances change, we reassess and recommend the necessary adjustments. This is the difference between a relocation that passes the initial review and one designed to withstand close scrutiny, year after year.
The first step is up to you.
A confidential exchange of 60 to 90 minutes, without obligation, is enough to assess what your situation really entails.
