2022 TAX DEADLINE. The 2022 declaration campaign is fast approaching. But what are the important dates not to miss? Which deadlines should not be exceeded? We tell you everything.
[Mis à jour le 5 avril 2022 à 16h37] The start of the 2022 declarative campaign is set this week. Indeed, from this Thursday, April 7, you can complete your tax return online. Completing your tax return is mandatory despite the introduction of the withholding tax in 2019. Even if your situation or your salary has not changed. This is an opportunity for each taxpayer to update your withholding tax rate or to be reimbursed if you were not taxable for a certain period of time in 2021. Keep in mind that the deadline for making your tax return is fixed at June 8 for a online declaration and at May 18 for a paper declaration.
For this 2022 declarative campaign, the starting signal will be given on Thursday, April 7. From this date, taxpayers will be able to declare their income by completing their tax return online. If your home has internet access, it is mandatory to complete your declaration directly online. Otherwise, a dedicated form may be offered to you.
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.
The deadline for taxes online on impots.gouv.fr depends exclusively on your department number. In total, three zones have been determined by the tax authorities. Here are the deadlines that applied this year:
- 1time area: the May 24, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments n° 01 to 19 and residents not resident in France
- 2th area: the May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments 20 to 54 including the two departments of Corsica
- 3th area: the June 8, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments n° 55 to 974/976
Taxpayers who use the paper form have up to May 18, 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.
