    FAQ: Tax Preparation Services

    Who needs to file a tax return in France?

    Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Versailles or elsewhere, is obliged to report their earnings to the French tax administration. This concerns employees, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer has no taxable revenue, filing a declaration may still be necessary to claim credits or exemptions or to stay compliant in case of future regularization.

    Non-French citizens living in France must also declare their income 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 earnings from rented property.

    What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?

    Each year, the French tax office publishes specific submission timelines for income tax returns, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and how the return is submitted (paper or online).

    As accredited professionals, we rely on specialized tax software that enables us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, maximize your tax benefits, and stay ahead of deadlines, we suggest getting in touch as early as possible.

    Missing the official filing limits may lead to fines, making early preparation even more important.

    A missed deadline leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% increase applies if no notification is issued, increasing up to 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 failure is considered willful or dishonest, higher penalties may be applied.

    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 effective way to optimize taxation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which provides fiscal incentives.

    Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux law, which grants strong incentives for the restoration of heritage buildings; the property deficit scheme, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the MH regime, offering notable benefits for the conservation of classified heritage buildings.

    A life insurance policy is another tax-efficient tool: after 8 years, it is subject to favorable tax treatment, making it an excellent tool for transferring assets and fiscal planning.

    Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized funds like investment funds with tax perks can also provide a tax reduction of up to 25% of the eligible investment, subject to conditions.

    There are many more possibilities! Our experts are here to recommend the best options for tax reduction for maximum tax reduction.

    How to file your tax return online?

    The electronic tax submission process is the preferred method of the French tax authorities, managed on the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.

    However, as certified experts, we make things easier for our clients. Instead of logging into their personal tax account, they simply complete a dedicated form on our website.

    Once the information is entered, we manage the full tax submission and transmit it securely to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), ensuring accuracy, compliance, and reliability—without forcing taxpayers to use impots.gouv.fr.

    After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any eligible reimbursement.
