FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, including in Nantes, is required to declare their income to the fiscal authorities. This applies to employees, self-employed professionals, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, they may still need to file a return to access certain tax benefits or to prevent fines in case of later tax adjustments.
Non-French citizens living in France must also declare their income 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 subject to declaration obligations for any earnings from rented property.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax administration establishes specific filing dates for income tax returns, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and filing method (physical or digital).

As registered tax advisors, we use specialized tax software that allows us to start working on 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.
Failure to meet the official filing limits may lead to fines, making early preparation even more essential.
A late tax return leads to an additional tax penalty: a 10% penalty applies if no official reminder is issued, increasing up to 40% if the fiscal administration officially alerts you. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. If the omission is deemed intentional or fraudulent, higher penalties may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to lower your tax bill in France. Property investment is an efficient way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which provides attractive tax benefits.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux program, which grants significant tax reductions for the rehabilitation of classified structures; the property deficit scheme, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Historic Monuments program, offering substantial tax advantages for the maintenance of classified heritage buildings.
Life insurance is another advantageous option: after eight years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an excellent tool for transferring assets and fiscal planning.
Investing in SMEs or fiscally supported funds like investment funds with tax perks can also lead to 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 digital filing platform is the standard procedure of the French tax authorities, available via the official government website French tax portal.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of using their individual space, they simply fill out a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we manage the full tax submission and transmit it securely to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), guaranteeing precision, legal conformity, and reliability—without requiring clients to log in to impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration calculates the final tax due or any overpayment.
