FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
All individuals considered tax residents in France, including in Pantin, is obliged to report their earnings to the fiscal authorities. This includes 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 claim credits or exemptions or to avoid penalties in case of subsequent audits.
Non-French citizens living in France must also declare their income if they have their primary residence in France or carry out business within the country. Similarly, property owners in France, whether residents or non-residents, are required to file a return for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax office publishes specific submission timelines for annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the département and filing method (by post or electronically).

As accredited professionals, we rely on specialized tax software that enables us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To guarantee precision, maximize your tax benefits, and reduce time pressure, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Missing the official due dates may result in penalties, making early preparation even more essential.
A late tax return leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% penalty applies if no notification is issued, which can rise to 40% if the tax authorities officially notifies the taxpayer. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also added to the amount due. If the omission is deemed intentional or dishonest, severe sanctions may be enforced.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to minimize taxation in France. Investing in real estate is an effective way to optimize taxation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which offers attractive tax benefits.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux scheme, which provides significant tax reductions for the rehabilitation of historic properties; the déficit foncier mechanism, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Historic Monuments program, offering important tax relief for the maintenance of protected properties.
French assurance-vie is another advantageous option: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an smart option for wealth transfer and fiscal planning.
Participation in small business equity or tax-incentivized funds like FIP and FCPI can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the eligible investment, 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 greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The electronic tax submission process is the recommended approach of the French tax authorities, managed on the official government website impots.gouv.fr.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of filing through their online portal, they simply complete a specific questionnaire on our website.
Once the information is entered, we manage the full tax submission and submit it directly to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), guaranteeing accuracy, adherence to rules, and reliability—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration determines what is payable or refundable or any eligible reimbursement.
