FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Nancy or elsewhere, is required to declare their income to the fiscal authorities. This applies to salaried workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, a declaration might be required to access certain tax benefits or to stay compliant in case of future regularization.
Non-French citizens living in France must also file a tax return if they have their primary residence in France or engage in professional activities within the country. Similarly, property owners 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 French tax office sets specific filing dates for annual tax declarations, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and submission channel (paper or online).

As accredited professionals, we use specialized tax software that enables us to prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, optimize your tax situation, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Not complying with the official due dates may result in penalties, making early preparation even more essential.
A missed deadline leads to an additional tax penalty: a 10% penalty applies if no notification is issued, going as high as 40% if the tax authorities officially alerts you. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. 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 legitimate methods to lower your tax bill in France. Property investment is an effective way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which provides fiscal incentives.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux law, which provides strong incentives for the rehabilitation of classified structures; the déficit foncier mechanism, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Historic Monuments program, offering important tax relief for the maintenance of listed monuments.
French assurance-vie is another tax-efficient tool: after a holding period of 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an smart option for estate planning and fiscal planning.
Investing in SMEs or tax-advantaged vehicles like FIP and FCPI can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the eligible investment, under certain requirements.
These are just a few examples! Our consultants are here to help you identify the best options for tax reduction for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the recommended approach of the French tax administration, available via the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as accredited professionals, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of filing through their personal tax account, they simply submit a custom form on our website.
Once the information is provided, we manage the full tax submission and submit it directly to the tax authorities via the EDI system, guaranteeing precision, compliance, and reliability—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration determines what is payable or refundable or any overpayment.
