The Daily Telegraph reports registration tax on sales in Monaco has been reduced to 4.5 per cent, while those who purchase property to rent out will not have to pay tax on their rental income.
Director of French Private Finance John Busby told the news source interest in the destination has been rising following "an exceptionally quiet last quarter of 2011".
The Riviera remains popular with expat insurance policyholders as expats have the ability to "easily country-hop" to countries like Monaco and Italy.
Monaco's attractiveness has been boosted by tighter property rules in France, where fiscal laws regarding owning property through a trust were made more restrictive last month.
