Your French income tax,handled by a chartered accountant.
Two fixed-price packages, payable online: a full review of your tax position, or the preparation and filing of your French tax return, year by year. You know exactly what you pay, and what you get.
Income tax review
A complete review of your French tax position, concluded by a written deliverable: the right format to understand your taxation and identify the levers specific to your file.
- Your latest French tax notice and the matching return
- Proof of income (payslips, bank tax forms, statements)
- Expenses, reductions and credits (donations, home employment, support payments)
- Your family situation (marriage, civil partnership, dependent children)
Send these documents to Samuel@hayot-expertise.fr; you receive the exact list, tailored to your file, right after payment.
Tax return and catch-up filing
We prepare and file your French tax return for each year concerned: the current year or past years to regularise. Pick the number of years, the total updates instantly.
- Your French tax number and, if you have them, your impots.gouv.fr credentials
- The tax notice for each year concerned, if you received it
- Proof of income for each year (salary, bank tax forms, rental, self-employment)
- Proof of expenses, reductions and credits for each year
Send these documents to Samuel@hayot-expertise.fr; you receive the exact list, tailored to your file, right after payment.
Prices incl. 20% French VAT. The firm sends its invoice after payment.
- Chartered accountant registered with the Ordre, Paris Île-de-France

Several years to catch up at once, or a specific situation?
Catch-up filings spanning many years, foreign-source income, foreign bank accounts, the year you moved to or from France, or situations mixing several regimes: these files deserve a tailored quote. Describe your situation through the form and we come back to you with a clear proposal before any commitment.
- State the number of years concerned
- Describe the nature of your income (salary, rental, foreign, self-employed...)
- List the documents you have (notices, returns, supporting documents)

Frequently asked questions
How much does a French income tax return prepared by a chartered accountant cost?
Fees are not regulated: no official schedule sets them. On this page, having the return fully prepared and filed is 1,500 € excl. VAT per tax year, filing included, amended and late returns included. The tax review alone, which analyses your position and concludes with a written deliverable but does not file the return, is 800 € excl. VAT. A particular situation (regularisation over many years, foreign income) is quoted separately, before any commitment.
What does the 800 € excl. VAT review include?
A complete review of your position: income, expenses, reductions and credits, available options (progressive scale vs the 30% flat tax, actual expenses, attaching dependent children...). You receive a written deliverable with the analysis and our recommendations, specific to your file.
What does the 1,500 € excl. VAT per tax year package cover?
The preparation and filing of your French return for a given year: the current year as well as a past year to regularise (amended or late return). When several years are concerned, the price applies per year: the selector on this page computes the total before payment.
How does the online payment work?
Payment is made by card through Stripe: you are redirected to a secure payment page, then brought back to our site with the list of documents to send. No banking data passes through our website.
What if my situation is more complex?
Catch-up filings over many years, foreign income, foreign accounts or mixed situations: request a custom quote through the form on this page. We price the engagement after a first exchange, before any commitment on your side.
Who handles my file?
Samuel Hayot, chartered accountant and statutory auditor registered with the Paris Île-de-France institute, based at 58 rue de Monceau, Paris 8. Your documents and exchanges are covered by professional secrecy.
What happens right after payment?
Stripe sends you an immediate confirmation and the confirmation page sets out the documents to gather. You email them to Samuel@hayot-expertise.fr; we confirm receipt within 24 to 48 business hours, together with the firm's engagement letter and the list of anything still missing.
What if you cannot handle my file?
We tell you before starting any work. The engagement covers your French filing obligations: a foreign tax return is outside its scope. If the documents do not allow the return or the review to be prepared, we explain why; where no work has been started, the payment is refunded in full.
