When do I submit a first tax return in France?

Reader question: As of September 2020, I'm now an ‘early retiree’. I still have a home and savings in England. When do I need to submit my first French tax return?

The first tax declaration will need to be submitted this year, when the system opens, which should be from this month with a final deadline in May or June. Usually there is a slightly later deadline for online declaration as opposed to declaring by paper form/s.

If you want to do this you need to speak to your tax office about opening an account at impots.gouv.fr
