FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, including in Saint-Denis, is obliged to report their earnings to the French tax administration. This applies to salaried workers, self-employed professionals, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, they may still need to file a return to claim credits or exemptions or to stay compliant in case of later tax adjustments.
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. In the same way, those who own property 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 administration sets specific deadlines for annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the département and submission channel (by post or electronically).

As certified experts, we use specialized tax software that allows us to process your tax return as early as January 1st. To guarantee precision, optimize your tax situation, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Not complying with the official filing limits 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, which can rise to 40% if the tax authorities officially alerts you. Late payment interest of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. If the failure is considered willful or dishonest, more serious consequences may be enforced.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal strategies to reduce your income tax in France. Property investment is an efficient way to optimize taxation, particularly through the LMNP regime, which offers significant tax advantages.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux law, which offers major tax relief for the renovation of classified structures; the property deficit scheme, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering substantial tax advantages for the preservation of protected properties.
A life insurance policy is another tax-efficient tool: after a holding period of 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an smart option for estate planning and tax optimization.
Investing in SMEs or tax-advantaged vehicles 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 experts are here to help you identify the best options for tax reduction for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the recommended approach of the fiscal authorities in France, processed through the official government website impots.gouv.fr.
However, as accredited professionals, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of using their individual space, they simply submit a custom form on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we take care of the full filing and transmit it securely to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), providing precision, compliance, and efficiency—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration determines what is payable or refundable or any potential refund.
