FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, including in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, is legally bound to file an income tax return to the tax authorities. This concerns employees, freelancers, business owners, and pensioners. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, they may still need to file a return to access certain tax benefits or to prevent fines in case of subsequent audits.
Expats and foreign residents must also file a tax return if they are fiscally domiciled in France or work within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, regardless of their residence status, are required to file a return for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France publishes specific submission timelines for annual tax declarations, generally ranging from mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and submission channel (physical or digital).

As accredited professionals, we rely on specialized tax software that lets us start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, optimize your tax situation, 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 crucial.
A missed deadline leads to an additional fine: a 10% surcharge applies if no official reminder 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 compliant approaches to lower your tax bill in France. Investing in real estate is an efficient way to optimize taxation, particularly through the LMNP regime, which provides significant tax advantages.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux scheme, which grants major tax relief for the rehabilitation of classified structures; the déficit foncier mechanism, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the MH regime, offering notable benefits for the maintenance of classified heritage buildings.
Life insurance is another tax-efficient tool: after a holding period of 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an great strategy for wealth transfer and tax optimization.
Investing in SMEs or fiscally supported funds like FIP/FCPI structures can also provide a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, under certain requirements.
These are just a few examples! Our consultants are here to guide you to find the best options for tax reduction for maximum tax reduction.
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 portal.
However, as certified experts, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of using their personal tax account, they simply fill out a custom form on our website.
Once the information is entered, we take care of the full filing and file it electronically to the tax authorities via the EDI system, ensuring correctness, adherence to rules, and speed—without requiring clients to log in to impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration determines what is payable or refundable or any overpayment.
