As the public service website explains, the reference tax income (RFR) is calculated by the tax services. It takes into account all of the income of a tax household, i.e. all of the people filling out a single tax return (such as, for example: husband, wife and dependent children), whether taxable or not. In particular, it makes it possible to determine whether you can benefit from certain social aid.
As the tax return campaign has started, some of you are probably wondering what help you are entitled to. Indeed, many French people miss out on certain social benefits through ignorance of them. We therefore list for you the aid to which you can claim according to your reference tax income.
Each of them is subject to your RFR, but their ceiling varies according to the composition of your tax household, therefore your family situation (couple, dependent children, etc.) but sometimes also your place of residence as it is the case for example for obtaining social housing.
To find out if you can be eligible for these social benefits, and how much you can benefit from, a simulator is directly accessible on the French public service website.
In the meantime, you can therefore find the list of social aid accessible according to your reference tax income in our slideshow:
