Online for non-residents and departments 01 to 19: By midnight, Tuesday, May 22
Online for departments 20-49: By midnight, Tuesday, May 29
Online for departments 50-976: By midnight, Tuesday, June 5
If you are due a refund or have no tax to pay, you will be informed in your personal space on the impots website between July 24 and August 7, or by post between July 23 and September 3.
If you are liable for income tax, you will be informed between July 31 and August 21, if you have declared online, or by post from August 7 to 28. Those who have arranged to pay by monthly instalments will receive their notifications from August 21 to September 3.
