When you buy a French real estate property you pay Notary fees. As with many sales of services in France the service rendered by a notary has tax applied to it. The current Value Added Tax called the TVA in France is 19.6 percent.
As of January 1st 2014 the French government has increased this tax to 20 percent.
This means that your purchase of French real estate will go up by this percentage amount as applied to the notary fees.
