FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, including in Strasbourg, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the tax authorities. This concerns employees, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, they may still need to file a return to benefit from fiscal advantages or to stay compliant in case of future regularization.
Non-French citizens living in France must also declare their income if they live primarily in France or carry out business within the country. Likewise, property owners in France, whether residents or non-residents, are required to file a return for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax office publishes specific deadlines for annual tax declarations, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and how the return is submitted (physical or digital).

As accredited professionals, we use specialized tax software that lets us prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, optimize your tax situation, and stay ahead of deadlines, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Missing the official filing limits may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more essential.
A missed deadline leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% increase applies if no official reminder is issued, going as high as 40% if the tax authorities officially notifies the taxpayer. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also added to the amount due. If the omission is deemed intentional or fraudulent, severe sanctions may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to lower your tax bill in France. Real estate investment is an reliable way to optimize taxation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which grants fiscal incentives.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux law, which offers strong incentives for the renovation of heritage buildings; the déficit foncier mechanism, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the MH regime, offering substantial tax advantages for the conservation of protected properties.
A life insurance policy is another tax-efficient tool: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an excellent tool for transferring assets and tax optimization.
Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized funds like investment funds with tax perks can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the eligible investment, subject to conditions.
This is only a snapshot! Our advisors are here to recommend the best fiscal strategies for minimizing your liabilities.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the recommended approach of the fiscal authorities in France, managed on the official government website impots.gouv.fr.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of logging into their individual space, they simply submit a dedicated form on our website.
Once the information is entered, we take care of the full filing and file it electronically to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), providing precision, adherence to rules, and efficiency—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration determines what is payable or refundable or any eligible reimbursement.
