Income tax in France for foreign workers increases with income, with tax rates starting at 0% and goes up to to 45% depending on their income level. In addition to that, social security contributions can amount to around 20–25% of the employee gross salary. Expats may also benefit from special tax regimes like the “impatriate tax regime” which offers advantages such as partial exemption of income tax on up to 50% to reduce their tax burden.
