It didn't correspond to what I paid in 2005 I'm afraid and is extremely simplistic - there are various 'abattements' to be taken in to account and even after netting these out the figure was wrong. Don't forget that income tax tends to be the minor part of whatever you pay tax wise especially if you have children - there is also the CSG which was 3 times greater than the amount of the actual 'impots revenue' paid last year and of course the dreaded contributions sociales.
It is very over-simplified. I am non-resident in France and just have French rental income and the estimate I got is just not right even with my small knowledge of French tax.
As an accountant in the UK I would advise you to go and see an accountant personally especially in the first year of preparing a tax return rather than using an internet service.
This will be my first year for submitting a tax return to the French tax authorities and even with some experience in tax affairs it does look daunting in a foreign language and different tax regime.
One question I have is when are the tax forms for 2006 actually available? I had a look at the www.impots.gouv.fr and the forms were not available. I would appreciate any feedback on how people, who are non resident in France. have found the process of submitting returns. Thanks.
