The obligation to file a tax return for taxpayers subject to the controlled tax return system has been in force since 30 April 1950. Taxpayers must file an annual tax return, the content of which is determined by decree (Article 97 of the General Tax Code).
Inheritance tax returns will gradually be filed electronically, with the obligation to file and pay electronically from 1 July 2025. The deadline for taxpayer’s resident in France is 15 June and 15 July for non-resident taxpayers.
For financial institutions, the deadline for submitting the required information is brought forward to 15 July from 2025.
The statute of limitations for tax returns in France is generally three years. This period is set out in Article L. 169 of the French Tax Procedure Code (LPF).
However, this period can be extended to ten years in cases of tax fraud or insufficient taxation revealed by legal or administrative procedures. In addition, the statute of limitations for associations that do not file their tax return is six years.
The limitation period for tax returns begins to run on 31 December of the year in which the tax return was or should have been filed.
This rule is interpreted in case law as a ‘three-year limitation period for the offences referred to in Articles 1741 and 1743 of the General Tax Code, which only runs from 31 December following the date on which the tax return was or should have been filed’.
