Indeed, any delay exposes you to a sanction of the tax administration : the amount of your income tax for the year 2020 can be increased. This year, the reporting period started for all on April 8, 2021. Unlike last year, the government did not delay the reporting period due to containment and the coronavirus health crisis. Now you want to know when you need to file your tax return ? Keep in mind that deadlines are differentiated according to the method of reporting (online or paper) and your department number (read below). 

Wondering about the continuation of the 2021 income tax calendar ? In the summer of 2021, taxpayers will receive their tax notices. The date of receipt depends on the situation of the tax household (taxable, non-taxable, etc.). If the tax authority owes you a refund, you will receive it at the end of the summer. On the other hand, if you have to pay a balance of income tax – because your withholding tax has been found to be less than the total amount of tax you owe-then you will be deducted in September 2021.

When did the 2021 tax return start ? Start date

The declaration period was launched on Thursday April 8 by ministers Bruno Le Maire and Olivier Dussopt, at a press conference.

What is the end date of the income tax reporting period?

The end date for the 2021 tax return is June 8 . This deadline does not apply to all taxpayers. As in previous years, the tax administration has opted for a differentiated schedule depending on the method of reporting (paper or online) and the department number. Paper filers will be the first to file their tax returns with the irs, starting in mid-May (see below). Those who use the dematerialized form, on the site impots.gouv.fr not all have the same deadline. To learn more read on.

What is the deadline for the paper tax return ?

In France, online tax reporting is now mandatory. Only certain categories of taxpayers can still use the paper form : this is the case for tax households that do not have Internet access and those who are not able to use digital tools. This includes the elderly and disabled. 

If you are in this situation, you must return your 2021 tax return form before on Thursday, May 20, at 11: 59 p.m., regardless of your department number. The postmark is authentic. So be especially vigilant on the date you return your mail. 

Note: Since last year, some taxpayers benefit from the automatic tax return (form 2042 K auto). If you are concerned and you have no correction to make to the information pre-filled by the tax authorities, then you have nothing to do. You are not required to return the paper form by mail. Still, remember to correctly and assiduously check the information already known to the administration.
