Tax system
- Marginal CIT (corporate income tax)
- 25%Very highWorldwide
- Marginal PIT (personal income tax)
- 55%Very highWorldwide
Corporate taxation basis: Worldwide. The country generally taxes worldwide income of resident companies.
Resident companies are taxed on worldwide income under the Code Local des Impots, with treaty exemption for foreign permanent establishments under the bilateral convention with mainland France of 30 May 1988. The local Impot sur les Societes follows the structure of the metropolitan Code General des Impots with adaptations specific to the archipelago.
Corporate income tax rate of 25 percent under the Code Local des Impots, aligned with mainland France since 2022. Reduced rate of 15 percent for SMEs with annual turnover below 600,000 EUR, capped at 38,120 EUR of taxable profit. Treaty allocation under the Convention fiscale France-Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon du 30 mai 1988 caps cross-border permanent establishment taxation at 10 percent. No CSG or CRDS contributions apply.
Personal income tax basis. Worldwide. Resident individuals are generally taxable on their worldwide income, subject to relief under applicable tax treaties.
Resident individuals are taxed on worldwide income. Tax residence is determined under Article 4 of the Convention fiscale France-Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon du 30 mai 1988, mirroring the standard foyer or principal-place-of-stay test. No CSG or CRDS contributions apply on the archipelago. No metropolitan-style impot sur la fortune immobiliere applies.
Top marginal personal income tax rate of 55 percent, the highest in the French Republic. The progressive scale uses 12 brackets stepped at 5 percent intervals under the Code Local des Impots, distinct from the 5 brackets of mainland France. The marginal bracket is reached at approximately 7,820 EUR of monthly net taxable income for a single filer with no dependents. A 28 percent forfaitary deduction applies on declared income (versus 10 percent in mainland France) before the progressive scale.
