FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Créteil or elsewhere, is required to declare their income to the tax authorities. This includes salaried workers, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, they may still need to file a return to benefit from fiscal advantages or to stay compliant in case of later tax adjustments.
Expats and foreign residents must also declare their income if they are fiscally domiciled in France or carry out business within the country. In the same way, those who own property 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 office publishes specific deadlines for annual tax declarations, generally ranging from mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and how the return is submitted (by post or electronically).

As certified experts, we have access to specialized tax software that lets us process your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, improve your fiscal position, and avoid last-minute stress, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.
Not complying with the official deadlines may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more essential.
A missed deadline leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% penalty applies if no formal notice is issued, which can rise to 40% if the fiscal administration officially alerts you. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. If the error is found to be deliberate or malicious, more serious consequences may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to lower your tax bill in France. Real estate investment is an reliable way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which offers significant tax advantages.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux law, which provides strong incentives for the restoration of historic properties; the landlord renovation deduction, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Historic Monuments program, offering important tax relief for the maintenance of protected properties.
Life insurance is another popular solution: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an smart option for wealth transfer and tax optimization.
SME investment or fiscally supported funds like FIP/FCPI structures can also provide a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, subject to conditions.
These are just a few examples! Our consultants are here to recommend the best tax-saving opportunities for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the recommended approach of the fiscal authorities in France, available via the official government website French tax portal.
However, as certified experts, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of logging into their personal tax account, they simply fill out a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is entered, we take care of the full filing and submit it directly to the tax authorities via secure EDI connection, providing accuracy, compliance, and reliability—without requiring clients to log in to impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any potential refund.
