FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, including in Dijon, is required to declare their income to the tax authorities. This applies to employees, freelancers, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, they may still need to file a return to benefit from fiscal advantages or to prevent fines in case of future regularization.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also report their earnings if they live primarily in France or work within the country. Similarly, property owners in France, regardless of their residence status, are subject to declaration obligations for any rental income received.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax office establishes specific submission timelines for income tax returns, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and filing method (by post or electronically).

As certified experts, we have access to specialized tax software that lets us prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, 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 lead to fines, 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, which can rise to 40% if the fiscal administration officially notifies the taxpayer. Late payment interest of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the omission is deemed intentional or malicious, more serious consequences may be imposed.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal strategies to minimize taxation in France. Investing in real estate is an reliable way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which provides attractive tax benefits.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux program, which provides significant tax reductions for the rehabilitation of heritage buildings; the déficit foncier mechanism, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the Historic Monuments program, offering important tax relief for the maintenance of listed monuments.
French assurance-vie is another tax-efficient tool: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an great strategy for wealth transfer and minimizing taxes.
SME investment or tax-incentivized funds like FIP and FCPI can also provide a tax reduction of up to 25% of the eligible investment, depending on compliance with criteria.
There are many more possibilities! Our experts are here to help you identify the best fiscal strategies for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The electronic tax submission process is the recommended approach of the fiscal authorities in France, available via the official government website French tax portal.
However, as certified experts, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of using their online portal, they simply complete a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is provided, we manage the full tax submission and submit it directly to the tax authorities via the EDI system, guaranteeing precision, compliance, and reliability—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any overpayment.
