MORE THAN A STATION: A TRUE MOUNTAIN VILLAGE

Located in the heart of the beautiful village of MÔNETIER-LES-BAINS (05 220), just minutes on foot from the village church, positioned between the Grenoble road (on the Briançon side relative to the village) and the Rochebrune road, the residence is ideally located, surrounded by numerous chalets and fir trees. You will have breathtaking views of the mountains (see attached video). 100 meters away, the Post Office and the village's first shops; 1 km away: the Grands Bains de Monêtier and the ski slopes (downhill, cross-country, and children's area).

REHABILITATION OF THE AUBERGE DE VIOLAINE

PARA-HOTELIER: ON-SITE CONCIERGE / FREE OCCUPANCY

Our concierge, specialized in the management of very high-end properties in the mountains, will be on site during the opening periods of the station and will take care of:

- Marketing stays on specialized platforms (Booking, Airbnb, Abritel, Expedia…) as well as negotiating with tour operators or company committees to optimize occupancy

Provision of para-hotel services:

- Personalized welcome
- Regular cleaning of premises
- Provision of bed and bath linen
- Possible provision of breakfast

Note that this is not the establishment of a lease but rather a concierge mandate, with only 21% on stays realized.

Finally, very importantly, you can occupy the property as you wish.

ADVANTAGEOUS TAXATION

As you can see, taxation on para-hotel services with hotel services is very advantageous in many respects:

- Recovery of VAT of 20% of the acquisition price, in full within 6 months of the notary deed.
- No tax on income generated from rental
- Depreciation of the property allowing for the creation of an accounting deficit
- No capital gains tax on resale after 5 years of operation

Additionally, to return to the legal and tax structure that we present (which is not mandatory but we recommend), you will need to set up a Sole Proprietorship (or LLC or SAS, but not SCI), in B.I.C Pro, with the corporate purpose of hotel accommodation with hotel services and that you (with the concierge) are able to provide at least 3 of the 4 services on a regular basis (reception, laundry supply, regular cleaning, breakfast). Thus, you will benefit from the following tax provisions:

- Subject to VAT
- Recovery of 20% VAT on the real estate (with definitive acquisition of 1/20 each year)
- Recovery of VAT on furniture packages and all other charges (notary fees, co-ownership, accountant, electricity, water...)
- Collection of 10% VAT on stays billed to your clients
- All charges are deductible + accounting depreciation of the real estate
- The net price of the property is depreciable over a minimum of 20 years, creating a (fictional) charge that means your accounting result will show a deficit each year (unless the property is exceptionally rented).

Since this is a professional activity, all charges are deductible: notary fees, co-ownership, property tax, CFE, fixed URSSAF (if set up as EI or LLC), travel expenses to go on-site for professional reasons, loan interest...

Integration of the activity's result into your Fiscal Reference Income

Like any professional activity, you must include the result (in this case the deficit) in your FRI, which will lower your taxable base for income tax and reduce your tax from the highest marginal bracket (40% or 30%).

Exemption from capital gains tax after 5 years

Like any trader who sells their business after 5 years of activity and who has less than €250,000 in annual revenue.
