FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, including in Niort, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the tax authorities. This concerns salaried workers, self-employed professionals, business owners, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer has no taxable revenue, they may still need to file a return to access certain tax benefits or to prevent fines in case of future regularization.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also declare their income if they have their primary residence in France or carry out business within the country. In the same way, those who own property in France, regardless of their residence status, are subject to declaration obligations for any earnings from rented property.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France publishes specific filing dates for annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and filing method (by post or electronically).

As registered tax advisors, 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 suggest getting in touch as early as possible.
Missing the official deadlines may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more important.
A late tax return leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% penalty applies if no official reminder is issued, which can rise to 40% if the tax authorities officially alerts you. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the omission is deemed intentional or fraudulent, severe sanctions may be enforced.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal strategies to lower your tax bill in France. Real estate investment is an effective way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which provides attractive tax benefits.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux program, which offers significant tax reductions for the restoration of classified structures; the property deficit scheme, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Historic Monuments program, offering notable benefits for the conservation of classified heritage buildings.
Life insurance is another advantageous option: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an great strategy for wealth transfer and tax optimization.
SME investment or tax-incentivized funds like FIP and FCPI can also provide a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, subject to conditions.
These are just a few examples! Our consultants are here to guide you to find the best fiscal strategies for maximum tax reduction.
How to file your tax return online?
The electronic tax submission process is the recommended approach of the fiscal authorities in France, managed on the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as accredited professionals, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of logging into their online portal, they simply complete a custom form on our website.
Once the information is entered, we manage the full tax submission and submit it directly to the tax authorities via the EDI system, providing precision, compliance, and reliability—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration determines what is payable or refundable or any overpayment.
