FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Nouméa or elsewhere, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the French tax administration. This applies to employees, self-employed professionals, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer has no taxable revenue, they may still need to file a return to access certain tax benefits or to stay compliant in case of subsequent audits.
Expats and foreign residents must also declare their income if they have their primary residence in France or work within the country. Similarly, property owners in France, regardless of their residence status, are required to file a return 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 annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and filing method (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 ensure accuracy, improve your fiscal position, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us 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% increase applies if no official reminder 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 charged on the outstanding sum. If the error is found to be deliberate or dishonest, higher penalties may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to minimize taxation in France. Investing in real estate is an efficient way to optimize taxation, particularly through the LMNP regime, which grants attractive tax benefits.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux program, which grants strong incentives for the restoration of heritage buildings; the landlord renovation deduction, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the MH regime, offering substantial tax advantages for the conservation of classified heritage buildings.
A life insurance policy is another advantageous option: after a holding period of 8 years, it is subject to favorable tax treatment, making it an great strategy for estate planning and minimizing taxes.
SME investment or tax-incentivized funds like investment funds with tax perks can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the eligible investment, under certain requirements.
This is only a snapshot! Our consultants are here to recommend the best tax-saving opportunities for minimizing your liabilities.
How to file your tax return online?
The electronic tax submission process is the recommended approach of the French tax administration, managed on the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as certified experts, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of filing through their individual space, they simply fill out a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we take care of the full filing and file it electronically to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), guaranteeing precision, adherence to rules, and speed—without forcing taxpayers to use impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any eligible reimbursement.
