Wealthy thanks to his film career, Gérard Depardieu also derives significant revenues from its many properties. A review.
Gérard Depardieu never ceases to wipe criticism since the announcement of his departure to Belgium for tax purposes.Aged 63, the actor, one of the best paid in France, has a real estate empire.
Firstly the mansion he sold, and located rue du Cherche-Midi in Paris, for a total 50 million according to some sources. Completely restored by the actor, the sumptuous residence of 1,800 m2 is partly registered historic monument.
A fishmonger, restaurants ...
In the same street in the 6th arrondissement, the man has other assets, such as a wine bar, or a fish. Local residents are also used to cross regularly.
And that's not all. The actor also owns two other restaurants in the capital, vignoles, or a production company. In 2010, her film roles he had earned nearly two million. An incredible heritage for which the actor does not seem to support paying taxes .

From 1 January next year, property taxes will become much more detrimental. Indeed, many new taxes should enter into force in the coming days.
Rates are low, prices fall, and yet it is really time to invest in real estate? The year 2013 is fast approaching and, from 1 January, the tax may be less attractive to owners once the draft 2013 budget vote. A review of the changes to come.
The device Duflot more restrictive than the Scellier
The government expects the tax rate reduction will be 18% in France and 29% overseas investment and will last between 9 and 12 years, with perhaps a bonus for buildings with very high energy performance. It is superior to conventional Scellier (13% over 9 years) and Scellier intermediate (17% over 12 years and 21% over 15 years). But the total investment shall not exceed EUR 300 000.
However, access to the device will be more difficult for investors. Rents of dwellings built will be capped and 20% lower than market rents, a more restrictive threshold than the Scellier. A real headache for real estate professionals because there is no tool to determine what city by city market price.
A-taxation of capital gains
MEPs adopted an amendment raising taxes on real estate gains . They decided to apply a surcharge on real estate gains (principal residence excluded), previously taxed at 19%, 2% from 50 000 3% 100 6% 000 to 250 000 euros.
The buildable land more heavily taxed
Gains on building sites will be submitted from 2015 onwards, a progressive scale of income tax.
To cause "shock land" and encourage owners to sell in 2013 and 2014, taper relief on the duration of the detention of the land, up to the total exénoration after 30 years, is deleted.
A tax to fund archaeological
A new tax will affect individuals by building their flag . Leaning against the development tax, this fee is used to finance the diagnosis and study of archaeological remains buried in the basement. According to government estimates, the increase in the tax planning would amount to about 9% in the provinces and 7% in Ile-de-France. The first 100 square meters of construction will be exempt. Which ultimately will lead taxpayers to pay 277.20 euros for the conctruction a pavilion of 150 m2 and 314 euros province in Ile-de-France.
Charges dropped
However, some good news to report. Owners will thus avoid both taxes.
Luxury real estate is doing well
The deputy PS, Mathieu Hanotin had presented an amendment to tax the real estate purchases . The tax was 1% for a good equivalent or greater than one million, 2% for goods of two million, and so on up to 10% for purchases of goods in excess of 10 million euros
The tax on housing "under-occupied" abandoned
The amendment concerned the housing "under-occupied" . An annual fee of 5% for these units in urban areas experiencing a marked imbalance between supply and demand should be established to "unassigned furnished accommodation to the main house" . That rate was calculated from the cadastral rental value of housing. Finally, the government gave up defending this text MPs pressure PS.
A tax on vacant housing already exists but the government decided to harden and expand the agglomerations of more than 50 000 against 20 000 currently.
To replenish its coffers, the City of Paris has its old heritage. Under the 2013 budget, which will be voted on Monday in Paris council, the mayor plans to sell next year to 175 million euros of assets. An amount up, transfers property having represented 150 million euros in 2011 and 174 million in 2012.
"It sells goods that are no longer useful to the Parisians, ensures Assistant Finance PS Bernard Gaudillère. Example The City had castles in the province once acquired to create camps. Buyers are often local but also investors. cede We also land in the suburbs and small plots of 100 square meters or 200 to Paris condominiums interest. "
In the lot, some pearls
End of 2010, the city had sold to more than 2 million, a medieval castle in Bayac (Dordogne). In 2011, the mansion of the White Street School (9th) was sold more than 5 million to an investor.
In the Marais, at 26, rue Geoffroy's Asnier, the mansion of Chalons-Luxembourg , monument of the seventeenth century, will soon be sold to the highest bidder. The City did not want to disclose the appraisal of the property, which housed the Commission of Old Paris before being abandoned and welcome briefly in February 2012, the collective AClefeu and his " Ministry of crisis of the suburbs . "
Environmentalists call for transparency
This sale should, according to our information, run into tens of millions of euros. "This building requires major restoration, says the Association of Heritage Preservation historic Paris. Better is bought and renovated rather deserted, provided that the rules are respected restoration."
In June, environmentalists have filed a vow calling for greater transparency in the real estate transactions. Bernard Gaudillère remember that all assignments are "subject to the Council of Paris."
