Every year, millions of taxpayers in France submit their income tax declarations during the April-June tax season. The declaration requires multiple tax forms based on the sources of incomes and the locations of the accounts.
Income Tax declaration is done during the current year for the income earned in the previous calendar year.
For example, the 2024 declaration is done for the income earned from January to December 2023.
The various sources of income can be from salary, capital gains, bank interests, dividends, self-employment, rentals, etc. Some income sources can be tax-exempted but they have to be declared too.
