Acquiring a work of art not only offers immediate aesthetic pleasure, but also tangible benefits in terms of heritage transfer. Works of art are not only appreciated for their beauty, they also constitute a sustainable asset that can be passed on to future generations with particularly advantageous tax treatment.
In the event of transmission (inheritance or donation), works of art generally benefit from a flat-rate assessment of their value. This can reduce the taxable base during the inheritance, unlike other assets such as real estate. It is a real lever for perpetuating a legacy while preserving its cultural and material value.
Advantages in the event of resale and how the capital gain works
In the event of resale of a work, the tax regime regarding capital gains is also attractive.
Concretely:
If the work has been held for more than 2 years, you can choose between two tax regimes:
A flat tax of 6.5%, based on the sale price.
Or the classic regime of capital gains on movable property, with a reduction of 5% per year from the third year of ownership. Thus, after 22 years, the work of art is totally exempt from capital gains tax.
This advantageous tax system makes the purchase of works of art a long-term strategic investment, in addition to their decorative and emotional power.
An aesthetic and sustainable investment
Investing in art is above all an emotional process: choose a work that inspires you, but it is also an informed heritage and financial choice.
