WHY THIS MATTERS
International HR and global-mobility program managers with employees that have a French tax filing obligation should “flag” the deadlines and remind their affected employees of the need to organise their information and complete their filing obligations by the deadlines noted in this GMS Flash Alert. Assignees should be made aware of the risks of not filing an income tax return by the due date as penalties could be calculated on the total tax amount for the year and not the balance due as indicated in a recent GMS Flash Alert (2024-022).
Deadlines for Filing 2024 Tax Returns on 2023 Income
The online service opened on 11 April 2024. The deadlines for online filing are set by department (département) and zone as follows:
- départements n°01 to 19 (zone 1) and nonresidents 23 May 2024;
- départements n°20 to 54 (zone 2) 30 May 2024;
- départments n°55 to 976 (zone 3) 6 June 2024.
The deadline for paper declarations (for cases where online filing is not possible) is 21 May 2024, as evidenced by the postmark.
All dates are to midnight.
