I have stopped employing a cleaner in france: what should i do?

WE LOOK AT HOW TAX CREDITS ARE CALCULATED AND HOW YOU SHOULD DECLARE CHANGES IN YOUR EXPENSES FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR READER QUESTION: I PAID A CLEANER FOR REGULAR WORK AT OUR HOME IN THE

PAST BUT HAVE STOPPED THIS YEAR. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT I DO NOT GET TAX CREDIT MONEY AT THE START OF NEXT YEAR AS I AM NO LONGER ENTITLED TO THIS? Usually at the start of

2024 you will obtain a payment equivalent to 60% of your previous tax credit and reduction entitlements; the calculation will be based on your 2023 declaration of 2022 income. If in reality

you did not have the same eligible expenses in 2023 as in 2022, then you can adjust the amount of the January 2024 60% instalment, or cancel it, via your online space on the IMPOTS.GOUV.FR

tax website. You should do this in the later part of 2023, after your tax 2022 tax credits have been regularised, but before a date in around mid-December when the cut-off date typically

falls (this has not yet been specified for 2023). To do this, go into your personal space and click _Gérer mon prélèvement à la source_, then _Gérer vos avances de réductions et crédits

d’impôt_. You can then choose not to have this advance payment (_Je souhaite renoncer à mon avance_) or to reduce it (_Je souhaite modifier mon avance_). In the latter case you should

estimate the correct amount of your reductions and credits by clicking on the simulator link. Then click_ Je valide mon choix_. Note that since 2022 it is possible to opt to take off the

corresponding tax credit entitlement immediately when paying for services in the home (_avance immédiate du crédit d’impôt_). If people opt for this, the amounts they have already benefitted

from will be deducted from the amount paid to them the following January. This ensures that they are not overpaid in relation to credits with the need to pay money back later on. RELATED
