Hello Prasanth,
For offline, paper-based declaration I consulted this website to download the 2042 form, but it looks like it’s not available yet for 2025
(https://www.impots.gouv.fr/formulaire/2042/declaration-des-revenus).
Do you know when it will be available? Or is it better to go to the local office to collect it?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Hello Kavana,
When the 2025 tax forms are published, I will update them in https://prasanthragupathy.com/2024/03/tax-list-of-income-tax-declaration-forms-in-france/

Hi Prasanth,
Is it allowed to file tax declaration in paper format after 20 May 2025?
Hi Prashant – I am looking for a consultant who can help me file my taxes. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hello Chandrashekar,
Unfortunately, I do not have any personal recommendations. Maybe try Corentin in this list https://prasanthragupathy.com/2023/11/list-of-english-speaking-finance-tax-advisors-in-france/

Hi Prasanth,
Thank your for putting together these articles. I am doing my first Income Tax Declaration in France and your videos and articles are very helpful. I have a question and it will be great if you can give your inputs on that. I have a couple of NSCs in Indian Post Office and a recurring deposit with an Indian Bank. Do I need to declare the interest earned from them in the year 2024 now or I can wait and declare it when they mature and the amount comes to my Bank Account in India after I redeem them?
P.S. – I tried to post this question yesterday, but I am not sure if it went through. My apologies if I ended up posting it twice.
Thank you!
