FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Orléans or elsewhere, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the fiscal authorities. This includes salaried workers, self-employed professionals, business owners, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, filing a declaration may still be necessary to benefit from fiscal advantages or to avoid penalties in case of future regularization.
Expats and foreign residents must also report their earnings if they live primarily in France or carry out business within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, whether residents or non-residents, are required to file a return for any earnings from rented property.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax office establishes specific submission timelines for annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and how the return is submitted (paper or online).

As registered tax advisors, we rely on specialized tax software that enables us to process your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, maximize your tax benefits, and avoid last-minute stress, we suggest getting in touch as early as possible.
Failure to meet the official deadlines may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more essential.
A missed deadline leads to an additional fine: a 10% surcharge applies if no notification is issued, going as high as 40% if the French tax office officially issues a notice. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the omission is deemed intentional or malicious, severe sanctions may be enforced.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to reduce your income tax in France. Property investment is an effective way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which provides attractive tax benefits.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux law, which provides significant tax reductions for the rehabilitation of heritage buildings; the déficit foncier mechanism, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering important tax relief for the preservation of listed monuments.
A life insurance policy is another tax-efficient tool: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an great strategy for transferring assets and tax optimization.
SME investment or fiscally supported funds like FIP and FCPI can also provide a tax reduction of up to 25% of the eligible investment, depending on compliance with criteria.
There are many more possibilities! Our experts are here to recommend the best tax-saving opportunities for maximum tax reduction.
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 French tax portal.
However, as certified experts, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of using their online portal, they simply complete a custom form on our website.
Once the information is provided, we handle the entire declaration process and file it electronically to the tax authorities via the EDI system, guaranteeing precision, adherence to rules, and reliability—without forcing taxpayers to use impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any potential refund.
