FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
All individuals considered tax residents in France, including in Clichy, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the tax authorities. This applies to salaried workers, freelancers, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, they may still need to file a return to claim credits or exemptions or to prevent fines in case of future regularization.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also file a tax return if they live primarily in France or engage in professional activities within the country. Likewise, property owners in France, whether residents or non-residents, are legally obliged to declare for any earnings from rented property.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax administration publishes specific submission timelines for income tax returns, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and filing method (physical or digital).

As certified experts, we use specialized tax software that enables us to prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, improve your fiscal position, and avoid last-minute stress, 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 surcharge: a 10% surcharge applies if no formal notice is issued, which can rise to 40% if the French tax office officially issues a notice. Late payment interest of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. If the error is found to be deliberate or fraudulent, more serious consequences may be applied.
