ONGOING CLIENT - FRENCH RESIDENT
Tax Questionnaire 2023 on Revenues and Credits in 2022

This is based on your income for the calendar year 2022 (1st Jan - 31 Dec 2022)

​

The period we have to file your French income tax return is from mid-April. There is only a short window of about six weeks. 

​

  • If you are a French Resident you will need to submit a French Tax Return and declare your worldwide income.

​​

  • ​You make a Tax Return per ‘household’. A household is defined as a single person or a legally married/PACSED couple. If you are a couple living in the same house but NOT legally married/PACSED then you need to file two separate Tax Returns.

 

WHAT TO DO?

  1. Prepare your revenues for between 1st January and 31st December 2022 in the currency you originally received it.

  2. Complete the sections of the questionnaire where required using the dropdowns where possible.

  3. Send clear scanned copies of all requested documents preferably as a PDF.

  4. If you have long term rental then visit the page for 'Long Term Rental'.

  5. Tick the box to agree to our conditions and fees.

  6. Submit application.

  7. French DECEMBER Salary Bulletin (fiche/bulletin de paie) or your annual Fiche Fiscale

​

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOUR APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED?

  • In July/August/September you will sent your Tax Statement (Avis D'impot 2023 sur les revenues 2022) by post

​​

  • If there is any tax due then it will state the total and the installment payment dates usually from Sept - Dec

​​

  • PLEASE NOTE: The tax office MAY take direct debit payments from September for advance tax payments for the following year - this is called the PAS (prélèvement à la source). 

​

NEW FOR 2023

​

UK and EU citizens with non-Assurance Vie

investment accounts, share trading platforms and ISA’s

​

If you have British or European accounts that have:

- generated growth

- paid interest

- paid dividends

- paid capital gains

​

So we can report these incomes correctly - please either:

 

- complete the INCOME SECTION further down with your interest, dividends, annual gain or capital gain  OR

​

- you may have to contact your provider and request a simple statement/letter that details the gain, interest payments, dividends for each investment in 2022 or ask an accountant/financial adviser from the country of investment to prepare this for you

​

Please do not send documents which then require the calculation of figures to establish your gain, interest or dividend total.

 

These must be declared and reported on your French Tax Declaration.  There is a flat tax payable of 30% on most of these incomes. To avoid paying tax on these investments in France contact us for more advice.
