Revealed to the general public during the 1970s alongside other members of the Splendid troupe, Christian Clavier then established himself as one of the most popular actors in the history of French cinema. It's quite simple, most of the films in which he appeared were huge audiences in theaters. Among the latter, we can notably cite The Visitors, Asterix and Obelix against Caesar, Asterix: Mission Cleopatra, The Bronzed 3: Friends for Lifeor more recently What have we done to the good Lord? et Kaamelott First Part. Earning a comfortable fee during each of his shoots, Christian Clavier also made good deals, particularly in real estate. For example, he had bought a house located in Porto-Vecchio in Corsicafor a whopping 4.4 million euros.
However, Christian Clavier had received death threats, while his house was occupied in 2008 by Corsican nationalist movements denouncing real estate speculation. Faced with such a situation, he therefore made the decision to resell this property in 2010, while realizing a very nice added value in the process. Indeed, this famous house was bought for a whopping 8.5 million euros, almost double the initial purchase price, thus earning Christian Clavier no less than 4.1 million euros. However, this great sale attracted the attention of the French tax administration. Thus, given that this famous capital gain was made on a second home, the tax authorities are claiming the sum of 1.3 million euros from Christian Clavier. The actor finally challenged this tax adjustment in court. His lawyers therefore filed a request before the Paris administrative court, which was unfortunately rejected.
Christian Clavier: his tax adjustment still remains relevant
Christian Clavier then appealed to the Paris Administrative Court of Appeal, without further success. To defend yourself in this matter. The actor explained that he was British resident at the time of the sale of his house in Corsica. His lawyers therefore believe that their client should be exempt from the taxes claimed by the French tax authorities, because he had given free use of his accommodation. If the actor's tax adjustment is still not called into question for the moment, Christian Clavier nevertheless obtained 2000 euros in damages before the Council of State under the right to error.
