FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, whether in Tours or elsewhere, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the French tax administration. This applies to employees, self-employed professionals, business owners, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, filing a declaration may still be necessary to claim credits or exemptions or to stay compliant in case of later tax adjustments.
Expats and foreign residents must also declare their income if they have their primary residence in France or engage in professional activities within the country. In the same way, property owners in France, whether residents or non-residents, 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 administration sets specific submission timelines for annual tax declarations, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and submission channel (by post or electronically).

As registered tax advisors, we have access to specialized tax software that allows us to prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To guarantee precision, optimize your tax situation, and reduce time pressure, we suggest getting in touch as early as possible.
Missing the official due dates may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more important.
A late tax return leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% surcharge applies if no notification is issued, which can rise to 40% if the fiscal administration officially notifies the taxpayer. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the failure is considered willful or malicious, severe sanctions may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal strategies to minimize taxation in France. Real estate investment is an reliable way to optimize taxation, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which offers attractive tax benefits.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux scheme, which grants strong incentives for the rehabilitation of historic properties; the property deficit scheme, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering notable benefits for the conservation of protected properties.
Life insurance is another tax-efficient tool: after a holding period of 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an smart option for wealth transfer and tax optimization.
Participation in small business equity or fiscally supported funds like FIP/FCPI structures can also provide a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, subject to conditions.
There are many more possibilities! Our experts are here to guide you to find the best tax-saving opportunities for maximum tax reduction.
How to file your tax return online?
The electronic tax submission process is the standard procedure of the French tax administration, processed through the official government website impots.gouv.fr.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of using their personal tax account, they simply fill out a dedicated form on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we take care of the full filing and submit it directly to the tax authorities via secure EDI connection, providing accuracy, compliance, and speed—without forcing taxpayers to use impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration calculates the final tax due or any potential refund.
