Foreign and French benefits
Most French disability benefits and several other benefits are not declarable
If you have foreign support because you do not work due to a disability (eg. the UK’s ESA), this would generally be declarable in the same boxes as for an ordinary foreign pension, but we would advise checking with your tax office as to its interpretation with regard to the precise kind of support your receive and your individual situation.
Most French disability benefits (PCH, AAH, APA...) and several other benefits (see chapter 5, 'How are you assessed by France') are not declarable, but if you plan to claim a tax credit or reduction for home services or care home costs related to the same needs you need to deduct any APA (allocation personnalisée d’autonomie) amounts towards the same expenses from the expenses declared for the credit.
French unemployment benefits should be entered as follows: 2042 section 1 in boxes 1AP and 1BP.
There is also a box (1AZ and 1BZ) for French disability pensions.
If you are unsure about declaration obligations for any benefits you have claimed, we suggest double checking with the tax office by private message to the tax office via your personal space.
