French government confirms implementation of withholding tax from 2018

The French Minister of Finance has confirmed the introduction of French withholding tax with effect from January 1, 2018. Details of the reform will be presented to the Parliament on September 28, alongside the Tax Bill for 2017. In addition to this, the French inpatriate regime is due to be amended in order to offer greater flexibility to French inbound individuals. Employers should begin to assess how the introduction of withholding will impact their payroll operations, international assignment programs and approach to employee communications.

A Tax Alert prepared by EY's People Advisory Services group, and attached below, provides additional details.
