September 25 - Impot sur le revenu

If you have not signed up for monthly instalments and only have to pay a sum equal to or less than €300, the total amount will be withdrawn from your account in one lump sum on September 25.

If the total amount is greater than €300, it will be withdrawn in four equal payments on September 25, October 26, November 27 and December 27.

These dates should be indicated on your tax statement along with the bank account information.

The payment will be withdrawn from your bank account from October 26. Monthly payments will also begin from October 26
