FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, whether in Béziers or elsewhere, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the tax authorities. This includes employees, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer has no taxable revenue, filing a declaration may still be necessary to benefit from fiscal advantages or to prevent fines in case of subsequent audits.
Expats and foreign residents must also declare their income if they live primarily in France or work within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, whether residents or non-residents, are subject to declaration obligations for any rental income received.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax office publishes specific filing dates for income tax returns, generally ranging from mid-May and early June, depending on the département and how the return is submitted (physical or digital).

As certified experts, we have access to specialized tax software that allows us to process your tax return as early as January 1st. To guarantee precision, optimize your tax situation, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Not complying with the official filing limits may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more crucial.
A late tax return leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% increase applies if no official reminder is issued, which can rise to 40% if the French tax office officially alerts you. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. 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 lower your tax bill in France. Investing in real estate is an efficient way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the LMNP regime, which offers significant tax advantages.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux law, which offers significant tax reductions for the renovation of historic properties; the property deficit scheme, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the Historic Monuments program, offering important tax relief for the maintenance of listed monuments.
Life insurance is another advantageous option: after 8 years, it is subject to favorable tax treatment, making it an great strategy for wealth transfer and minimizing taxes.
Participation in small business equity or tax-advantaged vehicles like investment funds with tax perks can also offer 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 fiscal strategies for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The digital filing platform is the recommended approach of the fiscal authorities in France, available via the official government website French tax portal.
However, as accredited professionals, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of using their individual space, they simply submit a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is provided, we handle the entire declaration process and file it electronically to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), providing correctness, legal conformity, and speed—without forcing taxpayers to use impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration determines what is payable or refundable or any eligible reimbursement.
