On April 13, 2023, the tax return campaign was launched for this year. If you live in a department numbered from 1 to 54, you have normally already completed or validated your automatic form. But if you live in a department from 55 to 974 and 976 (La Reunion and Mayotte), you have one day left to confirm it. Failure to meet this deadline would be a serious mistake. Discover in our slideshow below the other faults not to commit.
According to Service-public.fr, “if you declare your income late, you will have to pay penalties, an increase in your taxes and possibly interest on arrears”. Indeed, if you declare your income late, your tax will be increased by 10%, 20% if filed within 30 days of the formal notice or 40% when the declaration has not been filed within 30 days. To avoid this, it is necessary to closely monitor the fiscal calendar.
Depending on your place of residence, you therefore only have one day left to declare your income to the Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFiP). Moreover, this year, the tax administration will be particularly attentive and controls should be reinforced. The previous year, the DGFiP raised 14.6 billion euros through tax audits. Between 2021 and 2022, this represents an increase of 1.2 billion euros. This attention paid to your return is therefore explained by the government’s objective of combating tax evasion.
On May 9, 2023, Gabriel Attal, Minister of Public Accounts, presented the plan to combat tax evasion. A series of measures was then announced. Among them is the strengthening of controls. “The number of tax audits of individuals will increase by 25% by 2027, particularly targeting the largest assets. 100,000 files of natural persons will thus be processed by this same deadline”, can we read on the site of the government. Faced with these decisions, you no longer have the right to make mistakes. To be sure not to commit any, you can discover in our slideshow below, the most frequent, listed by Le Figaro.
