These are the 2025 income tax declaration deadlines, by department in france

PAPER RETURNS HAVE A SEPARATE EARLIER DEADLINE The first set of deadlines for French income tax declarations falls this week.  The declaration season, relating to 2024 income, opened on

April 10, and deadlines depend on where a person lives. Everyone who lives in France - and people who live abroad but have French-sourced income, such as from renting out a French property -

must make a declaration.  The 2025 deadlines are:  * Before midnight on Thursday May 22 for departments 01 (Ain) to 19 (Corrèze), as well as those who live abroad but must declare

French-derived income * Before midnight on Wednesday May 28 for departments 20 (Corse-du-Sud) to 54 (Meurthe-et-Moselle) * Before midnight on Thursday June 5 for 55 (Meuse) to 95

(Val-d'Oise) and overseas departments PAPER TAX RETURNS HAVE A SEPARATE DEADLINE If you are filing a paper tax return – an option available to those who are unable to file online

through age / disability or who do not have an adequate internet connection, or via dispensation from the tax authorities – the deadline is before midnight on Tuesday May 20.  If it is your

first time declaring, you would usually send in a paper tax return (the forms can be found with a search at impots.gouv.fr) - although it is possible to do this online if you contact the

your tax office to obtain the log-in details you need to create a personal space on the website. As a reminder, non-residents must declare any income that is assessable in France, which

depends partly on double tax treaties. The most usual case for this is rental income from French properties.  Declarations can be updated anytime until the deadline, either online or via a

second paper form in the post (for eligible declarants). Failure to submit the declaration in time may result in a 10% increase in the taxes you must pay as part of the penalty. This can

rise to 40% if you ignore repeated reminders about declaring.
