FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
All individuals considered tax residents in France, including in Quimper, is obliged to report their earnings to the fiscal authorities. This includes salaried workers, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, a declaration might be required to access certain tax benefits or to stay compliant in case of future regularization.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also declare their income if they live primarily in France or carry out business within the country. Similarly, those who own property in France, whether residents or non-residents, are required to file a return for any rental income received.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax office establishes specific deadlines for annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and submission channel (paper or online).

As certified experts, we use specialized tax software that enables us to prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To avoid mistakes, improve your fiscal position, and reduce time pressure, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.
Not complying with the official filing limits may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more crucial.
A missed deadline leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% penalty applies if no official reminder is issued, increasing up to 40% if the French tax office officially alerts you. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. If the failure is considered willful or fraudulent, higher penalties may be imposed.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to reduce your income tax in France. Property investment is an reliable way to optimize taxation, particularly through the LMNP regime, which offers significant tax advantages.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux scheme, which grants significant tax reductions for the restoration of historic properties; the déficit foncier mechanism, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the MH regime, offering substantial tax advantages for the maintenance of protected properties.
French assurance-vie is another popular solution: after a holding period of 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an great strategy for estate planning and minimizing taxes.
Investing in SMEs or fiscally supported funds like FIP and FCPI can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, subject to conditions.
These are just a few examples! Our advisors are here to help you identify the best options for tax reduction for minimizing your liabilities.
