FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, including in Rouen, is obliged to report their earnings to the French tax administration. This applies to salaried workers, freelancers, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, a declaration might be required to claim credits or exemptions or to avoid penalties in case of subsequent audits.
Non-French citizens living in France must also report their earnings if they live primarily in France or carry out business within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, whether residents or non-residents, are legally obliged to declare for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax office establishes specific deadlines for income tax returns, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the taxpayer’s department and submission channel (by post or electronically).

As certified experts, 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 suggest getting in touch as early as possible.
Not complying with the official deadlines may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more important.
A delayed filing leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% increase applies if no notification is issued, increasing up to 40% if the tax authorities 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 malicious, severe sanctions may be applied.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal strategies to reduce your income tax in France. Investing in real estate is an reliable way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which provides fiscal incentives.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux program, which provides major tax relief for the renovation 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 classified heritage buildings.
French assurance-vie is another popular solution: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an smart option for transferring assets and minimizing taxes.
Investing in SMEs or tax-incentivized funds like FIP and FCPI can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, under certain requirements.
There are many more possibilities! Our advisors are here to recommend the best fiscal strategies for minimizing your liabilities.
How to file your tax return online?
The electronic tax submission process is the standard procedure of the French tax administration, managed on the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we make things easier for our clients. Instead of filing through their individual space, they simply fill out a dedicated form on our website.
Once the information is entered, we manage the full tax submission and transmit it securely to the tax authorities via secure EDI connection, providing accuracy, compliance, 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 overpayment.
