FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, whether in Paris or elsewhere, is required to declare their income to the fiscal authorities. This applies to employees, self-employed professionals, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, they may still need to file a return to access certain tax benefits or to stay compliant in case of subsequent audits.
Non-French citizens living in France must also report their earnings if they are fiscally domiciled in France or work within the country. Similarly, property owners in France, regardless of their residence status, are subject to declaration obligations for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France publishes specific submission timelines for annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and submission channel (by post or electronically).

As registered tax advisors, we use specialized tax software that enables us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To guarantee precision, maximize your tax benefits, and stay ahead of deadlines, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.
Not complying with the official filing limits may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more crucial.
A delayed filing leads to an additional tax penalty: a 10% penalty applies if no official reminder is issued, going as high as 40% if the tax authorities officially alerts you. Late payment interest of 0.20% per month is also added to the amount due. If the omission is deemed intentional or malicious, severe sanctions may be enforced.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to minimize taxation in France. Investing in real estate is an reliable way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the LMNP regime, which offers attractive tax benefits.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux program, which provides significant tax reductions for the restoration of historic properties; the déficit foncier mechanism, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering notable benefits for the preservation of listed monuments.
French assurance-vie is another popular solution: after 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an great strategy for wealth transfer and minimizing taxes.
Participation in small business equity or tax-incentivized funds like FIP/FCPI structures can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the eligible investment, under certain requirements.
This is only a snapshot! Our advisors are here to guide you to find the best tax-saving opportunities for maximum tax reduction.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the preferred method of the French tax authorities, processed through the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of logging into their individual space, they simply fill out a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we take care of the full filing and transmit it securely to the tax authorities via secure EDI connection, ensuring correctness, legal conformity, and reliability—without requiring clients to log in to impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration calculates the final tax due or any overpayment.
