In Saint-Priest and its surroundings, the question of capital gains tax regularly arises among our clients who wish to make the most of their sale. Understanding how capital gains are calculated, knowing the tax rules, and identifying effective strategies are essential to secure and optimize your transaction. At Sixième Avenue Saint-Priest, our approach is based on listening, availability, and transparency to support you calmly at every stage of the sale. ## What is capital gains tax? Capital gains tax corresponds to the difference between the selling price of a property and its acquisition price, minus certain expenses and renovations. It only concerns properties sold at a price higher than their purchase value. This potential gain is subject to French taxation, except in cases of exemption, particularly during the sale of a primary residence. For more information on the official regulations, you can consult the official site [service-public.fr - Capital gains tax: definition and taxation](https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F10864). Our team at [Sixième Avenue Saint-Priest](https://www.sixiemeavenue.com/agences/saintpriest/) provides its expertise to help you anticipate and understand these rules from the estimation phase. ## The steps for calculating capital gains tax The calculation of capital gains tax follows a strict method: 1. **Determine the transfer price**: this is the net selling price, as indicated in the authentic sales deed, from which certain mandatory expenses borne by the seller (diagnostics, mortgage release, etc.) are deducted. 2. **Calculate the acquisition price**: this includes the purchase price mentioned in the acquisition deed, increased by acquisition costs (notary fees, registration duties) and renovations carried out under conditions (see details below). 3. **Consider the deductions**: the tax system provides for deductions based on the duration of property ownership, reducing the taxable portion as the years pass. To accurately simulate the capital gains tax on your property, it is advisable to carry out a personalized estimate with the help of a local partner such as [Sixième Avenue Saint-Priest](https://www.sixiemeavenue.com/agences/saintpriest/estimer-son-bien). ## What expenses and renovations are deductible? Certain expenses can reduce the amount of taxable capital gains. These include: - Acquisition costs: transfer duties, notary fees, within the limits of supporting documents or flat-rate at 7.5% of the acquisition price. - Improvement, construction, renovation, or expansion work, provided they were carried out by professionals and with supporting documents, or alternatively, applying a flat rate of 15% if the property has been held for more than 5 years. - Selling costs borne by the seller (mandatory diagnostics, mortgage release…). Distinguishing between truly deductible charges and the conditions for application is not always simple. Our advisors at [Sixième Avenue Saint-Priest](https://www.sixiemeavenue.com/agences/saintpriest/equipe) are trained to guide you in preparing your file and optimizing your sale. For further details, impots.gouv.fr details the conditions for deducting expenses and renovations. ## The taxation of capital gains in 2026: deductions and exemptions In 2026, capital gains tax is subject to two levels of taxation: - 19% for income tax - 17.2% for social contributions Progressive deductions apply depending on the duration of property ownership. You benefit from a total exemption after 22 years of ownership for income tax and 30 years for social contributions. Furthermore, the sale of a primary residence is exempt, as are certain sales within the framework of urban redevelopment projects or first purchases. For more details on updated rates and cases of exemption, [consult the practical sheet from the Public Service](https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F10864). ## Why is an accurate estimate of your property crucial?
