Frequently asked questions
Is Paperasse tax advice?
No. Paperasse is a guidance and education tool: it explains what each screen, box and form means, in your language, citing official French sources (BOFiP, impots.gouv.fr, service-public.fr). Every decision and every click stays yours. For complex situations, we'll always tell you when it's worth talking to an expert-comptable or avocat fiscaliste.
Do I have to file a tax declaration in France if tax is already taken from my salary?
Yes. Prélèvement à la source (withholding) does not replace the annual déclaration de revenus. Almost everyone living in France must file every year between April and June — including your first year, which is usually done on paper or by requesting a numéro fiscal first.
Do I need to declare my foreign bank accounts in France?
Yes — every account opened, held, used or closed abroad must be declared on form 3916 / 3916-bis with your annual declaration. Forgetting it can cost €1,500 per account per year (more for some countries), even if the account is empty. This is the single most common and most expensive mistake newcomers make, and one of the first things Paperasse checks.
I arrived in France in 2025 and never filed a declaration — is it too late?
No. You can still file a late first declaration at any time of year (usually on paper, or via your espace particulier once you have a numéro fiscal). Late filing carries a 10% surcharge, rising to 20–40% once the tax office sends a formal notice — so regularizing spontaneously, before they contact you, is always the cheaper path. In many cases first-year filers owe little or nothing anyway, and filing is what unlocks your avis d'imposition, which you need for CAF, renting, loans and naturalisation.
When does Paperasse launch and what does it cost?
The beta launches in late June 2026, starting with the people who can't wait for tax season: late and first-time filers regularizing their situation, and newcomers setting up CAF, CPAM and their titre de séjour. Waitlist members get beta invites first. Pricing isn't final, but the goal is a pass that costs a fraction of what an accountant or expat tax service charges.
Which languages will be supported?
English first, then more languages based on what the waitlist asks for — Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Chinese are high on the list. The point of Paperasse is that French admin shouldn't require fluent French.
