FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, including in Grenoble, is required to declare their income to the French tax administration. This applies to salaried workers, freelancers, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, filing a declaration may still be necessary to benefit from fiscal advantages or to prevent fines in case of subsequent audits.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also declare their income if they live primarily in France or engage in professional activities within the country. In the same way, property owners in France, regardless of their residence status, are legally obliged to declare for any earnings from rented property.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France establishes specific deadlines for income tax returns, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and how the return is submitted (physical or digital).

As accredited professionals, we have access to specialized tax software that lets us process your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, maximize your tax benefits, and avoid last-minute stress, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.
Not complying with the official deadlines may lead to fines, making early preparation even more important.
A missed deadline leads to an additional tax penalty: a 10% penalty applies if no official reminder is issued, which can rise to 40% if the fiscal administration officially issues a notice. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the omission is deemed intentional or malicious, severe sanctions may be imposed.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to reduce your income tax in France. Property investment is an efficient way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which grants fiscal incentives.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux law, which provides significant tax reductions for the rehabilitation of heritage buildings; the landlord renovation deduction, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Historic Monuments program, offering important tax relief for the preservation of listed monuments.
A life insurance policy is another popular solution: after 8 years, it is subject to favorable tax treatment, making it an excellent tool for estate planning and tax optimization.
Participation in small business equity or fiscally supported funds like FIP and FCPI can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, under certain requirements.
This is only a snapshot! Our experts are here to help you identify the best tax-saving opportunities for greater efficiency.
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 certified experts, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of using their individual space, they simply fill out a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we handle the entire declaration process and file it electronically to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), providing correctness, adherence to rules, and reliability—without requiring clients to log in to impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any overpayment.
