Why the French taxman might raid your bank account on Thursday
"Nearly five months after income tax declarations were filed and two months after tax notices were sent out, the first French income tax payments are due to be collected on Thursday, September 25th. For those who owe €300 or less, the full amount will be taken in a single instalment. The bank account to be charged will be the one that you have provided to the fiscal authorities. If there have been any changes, you should notify your tax office as soon as possible."
"Any higher sum will be taken in four payments, on September 25th, then on October 27th, November 27th, and December 29th. The amounts of any deductions will have been specified on your tax notice, which you can find in your personal space on impots.gouv.fr. According to the Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFiP), some 13.1 million households out of a total of 41 million will pay some tax this week, with the mean average amount owed reportedly €1,901."
On Thursday, September 25, French authorities will begin collecting income tax payments from over 13 million account holders. Full payments of €300 or less will be debited in a single instalment from the account provided to the authorities; taxpayers should notify their tax office if account details have changed. Amounts above €300 will be collected in four instalments on September 25th, October 27th, November 27th and December 29th. Deductions are specified on tax notices available in the personal space on impots.gouv.fr. The Directorate General of Public Finances reports 13.1 million households will pay this week, with a mean amount owed of €1,901. About 13.2 million people received refunds in July. Individual liabilities depend on the annual tax declaration made earlier this year.
