Every spring, French taxpayers get ready to file their tax returns. This year, the online tax return service opened on Thursday April 11. However, there is a deadline for households to validate their tax returns. This varies according to their place of residence. Here is the official timetable for the 2024 tax return:
- Departments n°01 to 19 (zone 1) and non-residents: May 23, 2024 at 11:59pm
- Departments n° 20 to 54 (zone 2): May 30, 2024 at 11:59pm
- Departments n°55 to 976 (zone3): June 6, 2024 at 11:59pm
Online declarations became compulsory in 2019. However, if you are unable to declare your income online, you can still use the paper format. In that case, the deadline for filing paper returns is May 21, 2024 at 11:59 pm (as evidenced by the postmark).
Here is a summary diagram:
