Rental Tax Simulator — France / Australia
Estimate in a few seconds the combined tax on your French rental income once it flows through your Australian tax return, thanks to the France-Australia double tax treaty.
Using a fallback reference rate (live rate unavailable). You can edit it manually.

Under the France-Australia tax treaty (2006), your French rental income remains primarily taxable in France. Australia, as your country of tax residence, also taxes this income as part of your worldwide income, but grants a Foreign Income Tax Offset (FITO) to prevent full double taxation. This simulator illustrates that mechanism in simplified form.
Important disclaimer
These results are estimates provided for general information only and do not constitute personal tax or financial advice. The calculation relies on simplified rules: the taux moyen option (effective rate computed on worldwide income) is not modelled, Australian deduction rules for foreign rental income differ from those used here, and déficit foncier is excluded. Figures reflect the French FY 2026 (2025 income) and the Australian 2025-26 income year, and may change over time. Please consult a qualified professional (tax adviser or financial planner) before making any decision. Two methodological simplifications apply: the Australian Foreign Income Tax Offset (FITO) only takes into account French income tax, excluding social charges, whose eligibility for the credit is not guaranteed; and the rental income assessable in Australia is approximated by the French taxable base, whereas Australian deduction rules differ.
