FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Montauban or elsewhere, is required to declare their income to the fiscal authorities. This applies to salaried workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, they may still need to file a return to benefit from fiscal advantages or to prevent fines in case of subsequent audits.
Expats and foreign residents must also declare their income if they are fiscally domiciled in France or carry out business within the country. Similarly, property owners in France, whether residents or non-residents, are required to file a return for any rental income received.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax administration sets specific deadlines for income tax returns, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and how the return is submitted (physical or digital).

As certified experts, we use specialized tax software that enables us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To guarantee precision, optimize your tax situation, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Not complying with the official filing limits may lead to fines, making early preparation even more essential.
A delayed filing leads to an additional fine: a 10% increase applies if no formal notice 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 added to the amount due. If the failure is considered willful or fraudulent, more serious consequences may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal strategies to minimize taxation in France. Real estate investment is an reliable way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which grants fiscal incentives.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux scheme, which grants major tax relief for the rehabilitation of historic properties; the property deficit scheme, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the Historic Monuments program, offering important tax relief for the conservation of protected properties.
French assurance-vie is another popular solution: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an smart option for transferring assets and fiscal planning.
Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized funds like investment funds with tax perks can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, subject to conditions.
These are just a few examples! 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, available via the official government website impots.gouv.fr.
However, as certified experts, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of using their personal tax account, they simply submit a custom form on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we handle the entire declaration process and submit it directly to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), ensuring accuracy, adherence to rules, and speed—without requiring clients to log in to impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration determines what is payable or refundable or any overpayment.
