TAX DATE 2022. The tax declaration deadline has passed, and I completely forgot to declare my income. What penalties? What to do ? All info.
[Mis à jour le 8 juin 2022 à 07h49] Careless error, overwork or simple forgetfulness… The fact remains that the last tax declaration date has now passed! It was set for Wednesday, June 8 at midnight. From today, it is now too late to declare your income! And the tax authorities will surely not give you gifts. From now on, you expose yourself to financial penalties. In other words, increases on the total amount of income tax you will have to pay this summer. These increases are proportional to the delay on your part in sending your tax return. Here is the scale of penalties:
- 10% in the absence of formal notice
- 20% in the event of filing of the tax return within 30 days of the formal notice
- 40% in the event of non-filing of the tax return within 30 days of the formal notice
But the penalties don’t stop there. Know that if the tax authorities learn of the exercise of an illegal activity on your part, el parallel to your declared activity, an increase of 80% will be applied to you, without it being necessary to send you a formal notice. Finally, late payment interest may also be applied to you. They amount to 0.20% of the tax due per month of delay.
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.
