FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Le Tampon or elsewhere, is obliged to report their earnings to the fiscal authorities. This includes employees, 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 prevent fines in case of subsequent audits.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also declare their income if they are fiscally domiciled in France or engage in professional activities within the country. Similarly, those who own property 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 French tax office publishes specific submission timelines for income tax returns, generally ranging from mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and submission channel (paper or online).

As registered tax advisors, we have access to specialized tax software that enables us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, improve your fiscal position, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Missing the official filing limits may lead to fines, making early preparation even more crucial.
A delayed filing leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% surcharge applies if no official reminder 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 applied to the balance. If the omission is deemed intentional or malicious, more serious consequences may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to reduce your income tax in France. Investing in real estate is an efficient way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the LMNP regime, which grants fiscal incentives.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux scheme, which provides significant tax reductions for the renovation of historic properties; the déficit foncier mechanism, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the Historic Monuments program, offering notable benefits for the conservation of classified heritage buildings.
French assurance-vie is another tax-efficient tool: after eight years, it is subject to favorable tax treatment, making it an smart option for transferring assets and minimizing taxes.
SME investment or fiscally supported funds like FIP and FCPI can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, subject to conditions.
This is only a snapshot! Our experts are here to recommend the best tax-saving opportunities for minimizing your liabilities.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the preferred method of the French tax authorities, available via the official government website impots.gouv.fr.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of using their personal tax account, they simply complete a custom form on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we handle the entire declaration process and file it electronically to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), guaranteeing correctness, legal conformity, and reliability—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any potential refund.
