TAX DATE 2022. A deadline change has taken place for the paper tax declaration on Tuesday May 31st. Do not get fooled. The full schedule.
[Mis à jour le 25 mai 2022 à 07h58] Stay careful! You have opted for the tax declaration at paper format, and you thought you had to complete it before May 19? That’s right. However, due to the delay in sending pre-filled declarations by the tax authorities, this date has been postponed! Don’t think you’re going to escape filing taxes this year. The new date is set for May 31, 2022 to 11:59 p.m.. According to the same terms as the initial date. So don’t forget to mark this date in your diary. A delay on your part will not be tolerated. Be aware that financial penalties at the level of income tax due will be applied to you in the event of delay. Those surcharges are between 10% and 40% tax due. Beyond a period of 30 days delay in completing your tax return, new late payment interest of 0.2% of the amount of tax you will be charged per month of delay. Important, once the amount of the increase reaches 40%it is no longer possible for the taxpayer in question to benefit from the tax reductions to which he is entitled.

The opening of the 2022 declarative campaign was scheduled for April 7. Everything went well at the opening on Thursday, before a big hiccup that the tax authorities had absolutely not expected. No possibility of accessing the pre-filling of the tax declaration for three days. In question ? Pre-filling errors concerning the overtime of certain civil servants. The problem was solved on Monday 11 in the early afternoon. From now on, everything is back in order, all taxpayers can complete their tax return. Let’s start with the details you absolutely need to keep in mind regarding the paper tax return.
Taxpayers who use the paper form have up to May 31, 2022, at midnight, to submit their income tax return, postmarked, regardless of their place of residence. The deadline is therefore the same for everyone. As a reminder, only taxpayers who do not have Internet access or who do not have the capacity to use digital tools can still use the paper form. Internet tax filing is now mandatory.
To declare online, you must connect to your private space with your tax number and your password. If you do not yet have a password, enter your tax number, your online access number and your reference tax income. You will find these identifiers on the tax return received in April (tax number and online access number) and on the tax notice received in August N-1 (reference tax income).
If you have forgotten your tax number or your password, on the authentication screen, the procedures allow you to recover your identifiers.
Once authenticated, select the “Declare my income” service. Your online declaration will be pre-filled with information known to the administration. All you have to do is verify your marital status, your address and the pre-filled amounts. You can correct them if necessary. Then, you will complete the other income you have received and the charges, reductions or tax credits to which you are entitled. Don’t forget to sign your online declaration for it to be taken into account.
