Do not expect to be (already) done with taxes. Since Monday July 25, 2022, French people have just started to receive their tax notice. It is, recalls Ooreka on its site, a tax document of the most important. It is sent by the administration to taxpayers and therefore constitutes an extract from the role to be understood as an enforceable title. In other words, it allows the General Directorate of Public Finances to establish a report of a debt and to request payment from the debtor. The tax notice, continues the specialized site, is always in paper format when the taxpayer has not been able to declare online. Otherwise, it is accessible on the personal account of the individual concerned, from the official tax platform.

This document, however, is not only useful for the tax authorities. It obviously allows the tax administration to interact with the taxpayer… but it also offers the possibility for the tax payer to prove the reality of his means test. This may prove to be essential in the context of certain specific procedures, with the Family Allowance Fund, for example. The same goes for any aid that the local community could provide.

In fact, explains France Info on its site, all French men and women will not necessarily have received their tax notice at the time of reading this article. Far from it. Because of the very way our tax model works, sometimes you have to be patient.

Tax notices are sent out from July 25 to around August 5. The receipt of the online document is the subject of an email for those who are not subject to a tax catch-up.

Upon receipt of the tax notice, it is important to consult it and ensure that everything appears in order. If this is not the case, can we read on the tax site, it is possible to correct your declaration online from this same platform. Once the request has been processed, a new tax notice is sent to the taxpayer. It is also possible to send a paper letter.

Moreover, the tax notice makes it possible to identify the possible remaining charge that will have to be paid and that the tax authorities will spontaneously deduct from the taxpayer’s account, provided that they have communicated their bank details. The same applies in the event of overpayment on the side of the tax administration, which will not fail to reimburse the persons concerned.

To challenge your tax assessment and correct your declaration online, you must go through the “Correct my declaration online” service, which is available from mid-August to mid-December each year.

The service then makes it possible to rectify some of the information declared online: this concerns information relating to income, but also to expenses as well as to the soul charge. To benefit from it, you have to go through your particular space and connect. At the end of the procedure, a confirmation email is then sent to the address indicated.
