FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, including in Perpignan, is obliged to report their earnings to the French tax administration. This concerns salaried workers, freelancers, business owners, and pensioners. 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 future regularization.
Expats and foreign residents must also file a tax return if they are fiscally domiciled in France or engage in professional activities within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, whether residents or non-residents, are subject to declaration obligations for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax administration sets specific submission timelines for income tax returns, generally ranging from mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and submission channel (by post or electronically).

As registered tax advisors, we rely on specialized tax software that enables us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, maximize your tax benefits, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Missing the official due dates may lead to fines, making early preparation even more essential.
A delayed filing leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% penalty applies if no formal notice is issued, going as high as 40% if the French tax office officially issues a notice. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also added to the amount due. If the omission is deemed intentional or dishonest, higher penalties may be enforced.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to reduce your income tax in France. Investing in real estate is an reliable way to enhance your tax situation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which offers attractive tax benefits.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux law, which offers significant tax reductions for the rehabilitation of classified structures; the landlord renovation deduction, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the Historic Monuments program, offering notable benefits for the maintenance of protected properties.
French assurance-vie is another tax-efficient tool: after eight years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an great strategy for wealth transfer and tax optimization.
Participation in small business equity or tax-advantaged vehicles like FIP and FCPI can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, under certain requirements.
This is only a snapshot! Our advisors are here to help you identify the best tax-saving opportunities for maximum tax reduction.
How to file your tax return online?
The electronic tax submission process is the recommended approach of the fiscal authorities in France, available via the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as certified experts, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of using their online portal, they simply fill out 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 the EDI system, providing precision, adherence to rules, and speed—without requiring clients to log in to impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any eligible reimbursement.
