FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
All individuals considered tax residents in France, including in Colombes, is required to declare their income to the tax authorities. This applies to employees, self-employed professionals, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, filing a declaration may still be necessary to access certain tax benefits or to prevent fines in case of later tax adjustments.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also report their earnings if they are fiscally domiciled in France or work within the country. Similarly, those who own property in France, regardless of their residence status, are subject to declaration obligations for any rental income received.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France sets specific filing dates for annual tax declarations, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the département and submission channel (by post or electronically).

As registered tax advisors, we rely on specialized tax software that allows us to process your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, improve your fiscal position, and reduce time pressure, we suggest getting in touch as early as possible.
Missing the official filing limits may result in penalties, making early preparation even more important.
A late tax return leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% penalty applies if no notification is issued, going as high as 40% if the fiscal administration officially issues a notice. Late payment interest of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the failure is considered willful or malicious, higher penalties may be enforced.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal strategies to minimize taxation in France. Property investment is an efficient way to optimize taxation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which provides attractive tax benefits.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux scheme, which offers significant tax reductions for the restoration of classified structures; the property deficit scheme, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering notable benefits for the conservation of classified heritage buildings.
A life insurance policy is another advantageous option: after eight years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an great strategy for transferring assets and minimizing taxes.
Participation in small business equity or tax-incentivized funds like FIP/FCPI structures can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, under certain requirements.
These are just a few examples! Our experts are here to guide you to find the best tax-saving opportunities for minimizing your liabilities.
