Simplified simulation, not tax advice. You own 100%, so France's exit tax on your shares applies. Outside the EU you usually have to request the deferral and give guarantees. It's wiped if you keep your shares 2 years after leaving (5 if they're worth over €2.57M). Moving tax residency means actually living there, not just a mailbox.
