FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Cayenne or elsewhere, is obliged to report their earnings to the French tax administration. This includes salaried workers, freelancers, business owners, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, filing a declaration may still be necessary to access certain tax benefits or to stay compliant in case of future regularization.
Non-French citizens living in France must also report their earnings if they have their primary residence in France or engage in professional activities within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, regardless of their residence status, are subject to declaration obligations for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France sets specific submission timelines for annual tax declarations, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and how the return is submitted (physical or digital).

As certified experts, we use specialized tax software that allows us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, improve your fiscal position, and stay ahead of deadlines, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Missing the official due dates may result in penalties, making early preparation even more crucial.
A late tax return leads to an additional fine: a 10% increase applies if no formal notice is issued, increasing up to 40% if the tax authorities officially alerts you. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the error is found to be deliberate or malicious, more serious consequences may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to minimize taxation in France. Real estate investment is an efficient way to optimize taxation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which offers fiscal incentives.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux scheme, which provides significant tax reductions for the rehabilitation of historic properties; the landlord renovation deduction, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the Historic Monuments program, offering notable benefits for the preservation of listed monuments.
A life insurance policy is another popular solution: after 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an great strategy for transferring assets and tax optimization.
SME investment or tax-incentivized funds like FIP/FCPI structures can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, depending on compliance with criteria.
There are many more possibilities! Our experts are here to help you identify the best fiscal strategies for minimizing your liabilities.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the recommended approach of the French tax administration, managed on the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of logging into their individual space, they simply fill out a dedicated form on our website.
Once the information is entered, we manage the full tax submission and transmit it securely to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), providing correctness, compliance, and speed—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration calculates the final tax due or any overpayment.
