FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Anyone who is a tax resident in France, whether in Valence or elsewhere, is obliged to report their earnings to the fiscal authorities. This includes employees, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer has no taxable revenue, filing a declaration may still be necessary to claim credits or exemptions or to stay compliant in case of future regularization.
Non-French citizens living in France must also declare their income if they live primarily in France or carry out business within the country. In the same way, those who own property in France, whether residents or non-residents, are subject to declaration obligations 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 income tax returns, generally ranging from mid-May and early June, depending on the département and submission channel (paper or online).

As registered tax advisors, we have access to specialized tax software that enables us to prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To ensure accuracy, optimize your tax situation, and avoid last-minute stress, we suggest getting in touch as early as possible.
Failure to meet the official due dates may result in penalties, making early preparation even more crucial.
A missed deadline leads to an additional fine: a 10% increase applies if no notification is issued, going as high as 40% if the fiscal administration officially alerts you. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also applied to the balance. If the error is found to be deliberate or fraudulent, higher penalties may be imposed.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to minimize taxation in France. Property investment is an reliable way to optimize taxation, particularly through the Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP), which offers attractive tax benefits.
Other tax-efficient strategies include the Malraux law, which offers strong incentives for the rehabilitation of historic properties; the property deficit scheme, which allows landlords to deduct renovation costs; and the MH regime, offering notable benefits for the conservation of classified heritage buildings.
A life insurance policy is another popular solution: after a holding period of 8 years, it is subject to favorable tax treatment, making it an excellent tool for estate planning and fiscal planning.
Participation in small business equity or fiscally supported funds like investment funds with tax perks can also offer a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, subject to conditions.
These are just a few examples! Our experts are here to help you identify the best options for tax reduction for minimizing your liabilities.
How to file your tax return online?
The online tax declaration system is the preferred method of the French tax authorities, processed through the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as authorized tax advisors, we streamline the procedure for our clients. Instead of filing through their individual space, they simply submit a dedicated form on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we handle the entire declaration process and transmit it securely to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), ensuring precision, legal conformity, and reliability—without forcing taxpayers to use impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration assesses the amount of tax owed or any overpayment.
