    FAQ: Tax Preparation Services

    Who needs to file a tax return in France?

    All individuals considered tax residents in France, whether in La Seyne-sur-Mer or elsewhere, is required to declare their income to the fiscal authorities. This applies to salaried workers, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, 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 stay compliant in case of later tax adjustments.

    Expats and foreign residents must also declare their income if they are fiscally domiciled in France or work 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 establishes specific submission timelines for annual tax declarations, generally ranging from mid-May and early June, depending on the département and filing method (paper or online).

    As accredited professionals, we rely on specialized tax software that enables us to prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, improve your fiscal position, and avoid last-minute stress, we suggest getting in touch as early as possible.

    Missing the official due dates may lead to fines, making early preparation even more essential.

    A late tax return leads to an additional fine: a 10% increase applies if no notification is issued, going as high as 40% if the French tax office officially alerts you. Late payment interest of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. If the failure is considered willful or malicious, severe sanctions may be applied.

    How can I legally reduce my income tax?

    There are several legal strategies to lower your tax bill in France. Real estate investment is an effective way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which grants fiscal incentives.

    Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux program, which offers strong incentives for the renovation of heritage buildings; the déficit foncier mechanism, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; 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 a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an excellent tool for transferring assets and tax optimization.

    Investing in SMEs or tax-advantaged vehicles like FIP and FCPI can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, depending on compliance with criteria.

    There are many more possibilities! Our consultants are here to guide you to find the best options for tax reduction for maximum tax reduction.

    How to file your tax return online?

    The digital filing platform is the preferred method of the fiscal authorities in France, managed on the official government website French tax portal.
