Help in English to complete your French tax return
Sponsored content: Filing tax returns in France can be done professionally with help from English-speaking accountancy and tax firm Fiscaly
France-based Fiscaly, a professional accountancy and tax firm, assists French tax payers with their legal obligation to submit French tax returns. The French tax administration requires that tax households submit an electronic tax return (ie filing over the internet) in May of each year.
The establishment of the Prélèvement a la Source for the collection of French income tax in 2019 has further complicated process for those who have to manage this process themselves.
Fiscaly’s FCCA UK and French expert-comptable founder Olaf Muscat Baron, says: “The French tax administration website allows for online filing, but experience has shown that this is both challenging and complicated to use. The website is for French persons who have one of two items of revenue that are simple to declare.
“Incorrect returns lead to questions from your tax office or even tax controls. Prélèvement a la Source can be simple for those who have no tax to pay or for those whose pay as you earn is deducted from their payslips. But this is not the case for most expats with income tax obligations in France. In essence, we remove the stress and uncertainty in preparing and filing your returns for you and in settling your income tax bills with your tax office.”
