Non-resident in France refund deadline
People eligible for social charge refunds because they are not affiliated to French social security should apply for refunds for levies in 2017 by the end of December.

This relates to people living outside France but within the EU, and those in France but affiliated to another EU country’s social security system, such as British pensioners with S1 forms for healthcare.
They may apply to their tax office for refunds of French social charges paid on property capital gains and rental income or, for French residents, investment and savings incomes.
