FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
All individuals considered tax residents in France, including in Amiens, is obliged to report their earnings to the fiscal authorities. This includes salaried workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, they may still need to file a return to claim credits or exemptions or to avoid penalties in case of future regularization.
Expats and foreign residents must also file a tax return if they have their primary residence in France or engage in professional activities within the country. Similarly, those who own property in France, whether residents or non-residents, are legally obliged to declare for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax administration publishes specific submission timelines for income tax returns, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the département and how the return is submitted (paper or online).

As accredited professionals, we have access to specialized tax software that allows us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, improve your fiscal position, and stay ahead of deadlines, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.
Not complying with the official deadlines may lead to fines, making early preparation even more crucial.
A delayed filing leads to an additional tax penalty: a 10% increase applies if no notification is issued, increasing up to 40% if the French tax office officially alerts you. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the error is found to be deliberate or dishonest, higher penalties may be imposed.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to minimize taxation in France. Property investment is an efficient way to optimize taxation, particularly through the LMNP regime, which grants significant tax advantages.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux law, which offers strong incentives for the renovation of heritage buildings; the déficit foncier mechanism, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering substantial tax advantages for the conservation of classified heritage buildings.
A life insurance policy is another advantageous option: after 8 years, it is subject to favorable tax treatment, making it an smart option for wealth transfer and minimizing taxes.
Investing in SMEs or tax-advantaged vehicles like investment funds with tax perks can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, under certain requirements.
These are just a few examples! Our experts are here to help you identify the best tax-saving opportunities for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the recommended approach of the fiscal authorities in France, processed through the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
