FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
All individuals considered tax residents in France, including in Aix-en-Provence, is required to declare their income to the French tax administration. This concerns salaried workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, filing a declaration may still be necessary to access certain tax benefits or to prevent fines in case of future regularization.
Non-French citizens living in France must also report their earnings if they have their primary residence in France or work within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, regardless of their residence status, are required to file a return for any rental income received.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France sets specific deadlines for income tax returns, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and submission channel (paper or online).

As accredited professionals, we rely on specialized tax software that allows us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, improve your fiscal position, and stay ahead of deadlines, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.
Missing the official filing limits may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more essential.
A late tax return leads to an additional fine: a 10% increase applies if no official reminder is issued, which can rise to 40% if the fiscal administration officially notifies the taxpayer. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also added to the amount due. If the failure is considered willful or fraudulent, more serious consequences may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to reduce your income tax in France. Investing in real estate is an effective way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the LMNP regime, which grants attractive tax benefits.
