FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, whether in Ajaccio or elsewhere, is obliged to report their earnings to the French tax administration. This applies to salaried workers, self-employed professionals, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, a declaration might be required to claim credits or exemptions or to avoid penalties in case of future regularization.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also report their earnings if they have their primary residence in France or work within the country. In the same way, property owners in France, whether residents or non-residents, are legally obliged to declare for any earnings from rented property.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France establishes specific filing dates for income tax returns, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and submission channel (paper or online).

As registered tax advisors, we rely on specialized tax software that lets us process your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, maximize your tax benefits, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Missing the official deadlines may lead to fines, making early preparation even more important.
A delayed filing leads to an additional tax penalty: a 10% surcharge applies if no notification is issued, going as high as 40% if the fiscal administration officially issues a notice. Late payment interest of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the error is found to be deliberate or dishonest, more serious consequences 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 reliable way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the LMNP regime, which offers attractive tax benefits.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux program, which grants significant tax reductions for the renovation of heritage buildings; the landlord renovation deduction, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the MH regime, offering notable benefits for the preservation of classified heritage buildings.
French assurance-vie is another popular solution: after a holding period of 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an great strategy for transferring assets and fiscal planning.
Participation in small business equity or tax-advantaged vehicles like FIP and FCPI can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, depending on compliance with criteria.
These are just a few examples! Our advisors are here to help you identify the best options for tax reduction for maximum tax reduction.
How to file your tax return online?
