Income Tax Return Services For French Tax Residents – How We Can Help You

Take the stress out of income tax returns by contacting our French tax advisors

For expatriates, the French tax system can be very different to what they are used to. As a result, tax returns are often daunting. While the concept is the same as in most other countries, the process is unfamiliar.

Elitax provides income tax return services for tax residents, making it quick and easy to deal with your finances. See how we can help with your taxes in France by claiming a free 15-minute consultation with our French tax advisors.

Guarantee success with our five-step tax return process

To make life easier for you, we’ve put together a five-step process that shows how our income tax return services for tax residents work:

• We look at your individual needs and the required timeframe for your tax return
• We send you our income tax return questionnaire
• You fill in the questionnaire and send it back to us
• We work on your file and prepare your forms
• We deliver your French tax return forms to you, or file them online on your behalf

Through the questionnaire, we’ll be able to identify any rebates, Tax deductions and /or tax credits to which you may be entitled. The information we gather will help us prepare a complete tax return and avoid any issues which may negatively affect your finances.

If it’s your first time filing a tax return, you must file it on paper. We send you the completed tax forms, which you then sign and mail to the French Tax Administration. Those who have already filed at least once in France must file online, which we’ll take care of.

A simple guide to income tax returns in France

A person who is a resident of France for tax purposes must declare all of their income for tax, including both income from French sources and income received abroad. Failure to accurately declare any income could result in significant penalties.

Income tax in France is calculated using a progressive rate, but there are other factors to consider. France has a number of tax treaties with other countries, which are designed to avoid double taxation.

Elitax will work with you to ensure you take full advantage of the treaty arrangements which are relevant to your situation.

Not all those who live in France are official tax residents. During our free consultation, we’ll work out if you are considered a tax resident or tax non-resident. We can then prepare your French income tax return as appropriate.
