FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Toulouse or elsewhere, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the fiscal authorities. This concerns salaried workers, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer has no taxable revenue, filing a declaration may still be necessary to claim credits or exemptions or to prevent fines in case of subsequent audits.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also file a tax return if they are fiscally domiciled in France or work within the country. Likewise, property owners in France, whether residents or non-residents, are legally obliged to declare for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax office publishes specific submission timelines for annual tax declarations, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and submission channel (by post or electronically).

As certified experts, we use specialized tax software that lets us start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, optimize your tax situation, and reduce time pressure, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.
Not complying with the official due dates may result in penalties, making early preparation even more essential.
A late tax return leads to an additional tax penalty: a 10% surcharge applies if no notification is issued, going as high as 40% if the French tax office officially notifies the taxpayer. Late payment interest of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the error is found to be deliberate or malicious, more serious consequences may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to reduce your income tax in France. Property investment is an effective way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which offers significant tax advantages.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux program, which grants major tax relief for the rehabilitation of classified structures; the déficit foncier mechanism, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering important tax relief for the conservation of classified heritage buildings.
A life insurance policy is another popular solution: after 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an great strategy for wealth transfer and fiscal planning.
Investing in SMEs or tax-advantaged vehicles like FIP/FCPI structures can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, under certain requirements.
These are just a few examples! Our consultants 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, available via the official government website French tax portal.
However, as accredited professionals, we make things easier for our clients. Instead of logging into their online portal, they simply fill out a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we handle the entire declaration process and submit it directly to the tax authorities via secure EDI connection, ensuring precision, adherence to rules, and speed—without forcing taxpayers to use impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration calculates the final tax due or any potential refund.
