    FAQ: Tax Preparation Services

    Who needs to file a tax return in France?

    All individuals considered tax residents in France, whether in Roubaix or elsewhere, is required to declare their income to the tax authorities. This applies to salaried workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and retirees. 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 later tax adjustments.

    Expats and foreign residents must also file a tax return if they live primarily in France or carry out business within the country. Similarly, 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 French tax office establishes specific filing dates for annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and submission channel (physical or digital).

    As certified experts, we rely on specialized tax software that enables us to process your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, maximize your tax benefits, and avoid last-minute stress, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.

    Failure to meet the official deadlines may result in penalties, making early preparation even more essential.

    A missed deadline leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% surcharge applies if no formal notice is issued, going as high as 40% if the French tax office officially issues a notice. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also added to the amount due. If the error is found to be deliberate or malicious, higher penalties may be imposed.

    How can I legally reduce my income tax?

    There are several compliant approaches to reduce your income tax in France. Real estate investment is an reliable way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which provides fiscal incentives.

    Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux program, which grants significant tax reductions for the restoration of classified structures; the property deficit scheme, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the Historic Monuments program, offering notable benefits for the maintenance of listed monuments.

    French assurance-vie is another popular solution: after 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an excellent tool for estate planning and fiscal planning.

    Investing in SMEs or fiscally supported funds like FIP and FCPI can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, depending on compliance with criteria.

    These are just a few examples! Our experts are here to recommend the best options for tax reduction for maximum tax reduction.

    How to file your tax return online?

    The digital filing platform is the preferred method of the French tax administration, processed through the official government website French tax portal.
