*IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note the guide gives step-by-step guidelines for completing the printed tax forms which many readers often do before making an online declaration.

It also includes information on the online process which is obligatory in most cases now. However, because everyone’s online experience is different we can only give an overview of this and not a step-by-step guide to this part.

We use the latest layout available which is taken from last year’s forms as the French tax authorities do not release any changed forms prior to the opening of the declaration period, so after publication of this guide.

We will add an addendum(s) to the guide detailing any relevant changes and alert you of this by email.

The information in this guide is of a general nature, it is not advice which if needed can be sought by instructing a professional on the specifics of your case. All purchases are subject to our terms and conditions.
