FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, including in Sarcelles, is required to declare their income to the French tax administration. This concerns employees, freelancers, business owners, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer has no taxable revenue, they may still need to file a return to access certain tax benefits or to avoid penalties in case of subsequent audits.
Expats and foreign residents must also report their earnings if they have their primary residence in France or work within the country. Likewise, property owners in France, regardless of their residence status, are subject to declaration obligations for any earnings from rented property.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the tax authorities in France establishes specific submission timelines for income tax returns, generally scheduled between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and submission channel (paper or online).

As accredited professionals, we rely on specialized tax software that allows us to start working on your tax return as early as January 1st. To guarantee precision, improve your fiscal position, 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 crucial.
A delayed filing leads to an additional tax penalty: a 10% surcharge applies if no formal notice is issued, going as high as 40% if the French tax office officially notifies the taxpayer. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the failure is considered willful or malicious, severe sanctions may be enforced.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legal strategies to minimize taxation in France. Investing in real estate is an reliable way to reduce fiscal pressure, particularly through the LMNP regime, which grants significant tax advantages.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux law, which provides strong incentives for the renovation of heritage buildings; the landlord renovation deduction, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering notable benefits for the maintenance of listed monuments.
French assurance-vie is another popular solution: after 8 years, it benefits from a reduced tax rate, making it an excellent tool for transferring assets and tax optimization.
Investing in SMEs or fiscally supported funds like investment funds with tax perks can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, under certain requirements.
These are just a few examples! Our advisors are here to guide you to find the best tax-saving opportunities for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The digital filing platform is the preferred method of the French tax administration, managed on the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as accredited professionals, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of logging into their individual space, they simply submit a custom form on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we handle the entire declaration process and submit it directly to the tax authorities via secure EDI connection, providing correctness, compliance, and efficiency—without requiring clients to log in to impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration calculates the final tax due or any eligible reimbursement.
