FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, whether in Villeneuve-d’Ascq or elsewhere, is required to declare their income to the French tax administration. This applies to salaried workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer falls below the taxable threshold, a declaration might be required to benefit from fiscal advantages or to avoid penalties in case of subsequent audits.
Foreign nationals and expatriates must also declare their income if they are fiscally domiciled in France or carry out business within the country. Likewise, those who own property in France, whether residents or non-residents, are required to file a return for any earnings from rented property.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax administration sets specific filing dates 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 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, maximize your tax benefits, and avoid last-minute stress, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
Not complying with the official filing limits may trigger late fees, making early preparation even more important.
A delayed filing leads to an additional surcharge: a 10% increase applies if no formal notice is issued, going as high as 40% if the tax authorities officially issues a notice. Interest on overdue tax of 0.20% per month is also charged on the outstanding sum. If the omission is deemed intentional or fraudulent, severe sanctions may be imposed.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several legitimate methods to lower your tax bill in France. Investing in real estate is an effective way to optimize taxation, particularly through the LMNP regime, which offers attractive tax benefits.
Other ways to save on taxes include the Malraux program, which offers major tax relief for the rehabilitation of historic properties; the property deficit scheme, which lets property owners subtract works expenses; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering substantial tax advantages for the preservation of classified heritage buildings.
Life insurance is another advantageous option: after a holding period of 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an excellent tool for wealth transfer and tax optimization.
Participation in small business equity or tax-advantaged vehicles like investment funds with tax perks can also lead to a tax reduction of up to 25% of the qualified contribution, under certain requirements.
This is only a snapshot! Our consultants are here to recommend the best options for tax reduction for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The digital filing platform is the preferred method of the French tax authorities, processed through the official government website impots.gouv.fr portal.
However, as accredited professionals, we make things easier for our clients. Instead of using their personal tax account, they simply complete a custom form on our website.
Once the information is entered, we take care of the full filing and submit it directly to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), guaranteeing precision, adherence to rules, and reliability—without forcing taxpayers to use impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration calculates the final tax due or any overpayment.
