📢 It’s tax return season!

If you’re a micro-entrepreneur in France, you can download your attestation fiscale directly from your URSSAF account.

👉 From the main page, head to “Mes attestations”, then select “Attestation fiscale” — you can download it straight away.

This document summarises the exact amount you declared over the year, and that’s the figure you’ll need to include on your tax return ✅

📢 Tax season is here in France!

The 2026 income tax declaration campaign is about to begin — and it’s time to get prepared.

🗓️ Key dates to remember:
• The online declaration opens on 9 April 2026
• Deadlines will fall between late May and early June, depending on your department
• This declaration covers your 2025 income

💻 Most people are now required to declare online via their personal account on impots.gouv.fr (unless you don’t have internet access, or this is your first declaration)

💡 A few reminders:
• Your declaration is usually pre-filled if you're en employee — but always double-check everything
• Even if nothing has changed, it’s your responsibility to confirm it’s correct
• Late declarations can lead to penalties, so don’t miss the deadline

If you need help understanding what to declare, correcting mistakes, or submitting your return stress-free — feel free to get in touch.

If you’re planning to move to France and work here, one of the most important things to understand is which visa actually gives you the right to work. Some examples👇

🇫🇷 1. Long-Stay Visa (VLS-TS “Salarié” or “Travailleur Temporaire”)
This is the most common option if you already have a job lined up in France. Your employer usually needs to sponsor you, and once approved, this visa allows you to live and work legally in France.

💼 2. Talent Passport (“Passeport Talent”)
There are several categories (e.g. qualified employees, company founders etc), but the key benefit is that it allows you to work without needing a separate work permit.
👉 Bonus: Accompanying direct family members (such as a spouse) are also allowed to live and work in France.

🚀 3. Entrepreneur / Profession Libérale Visa
Perfect if you want to start your own business or work as a freelancer in France. This visa allows you to carry out a self-employed activity, but you’ll need to present a solid business plan and show that your project is financially viable.

🎓 4. Student Visa (with limits)
If you’re studying in France, you can work up to 964 hours per year (around 20 hours per week). It’s a great way to support yourself, but it’s not a full-time work visa.

💡 5. Working Holiday Visa
Available for certain nationalities, this visa allows young people (usually 18–30/35) to live and work in France for up to a year.

🌍 EU/EEA/Swiss Citizens
Good news — if you’re from the EU, EEA, or Switzerland, you don’t need a visa or work permit to live and work in France.

🚫 Visas that do NOT allow you to work
➡Visitor visa (VLS-TS “Visiteur”)
➡Short-stay tourist visa

✨ Final tip:
Each situation is different, and the right visa depends on your personal circumstances (job offer, business project, nationality, family situation, long-term plans, etc.). It’s always worth checking before you apply — or before you accept a job or launch your activity!

💡 Micro-entrepreneurs: are you validating all 4 retirement quarters each year?

Many people don’t realise this, but in a micro-entreprise, your retirement rights depend on your annual turnover (not the time you work).

👉 To validate 1 quarter, you need to reach a minimum level of income based on the SMIC.
👉 To validate 4 quarters, you must hit a higher turnover threshold — and it varies depending on your activity (services, sales, or liberal professions).

⚠️ Important:
You can’t validate more than 4 quarters per year
If you don’t reach the thresholds, you may have to work longer to get a full pension

✔️ The key takeaway:
Keep an eye on your turnover throughout the year to make sure you’re building your retirement properly.

🇫🇷 French income tax: understanding the “tranches” for 2026 (on your 2025 income)

The French income tax system works in progressive bands (tranches) — meaning you don’t pay one single rate on all your income. Instead, each portion of your income is taxed at a different rate.

Here are the current brackets for the 2026 declaration:

• Up to €11,600 → 0%
• €11,601 to €29,579 → 11%
• €29,580 to €84,577 → 30%
• €84,578 to €181,917 → 41%
• Over €181,917 → 45%

👉 Important: these rates apply per “part” (household share) and are calculated progressively — not all your income is taxed at your highest rate.

If you're unsure how this applies to your situation, you're definitely not alone — French tax can be tricky!

📊Good news for micro-entrepreneurs: the turnover limits have increased.

The new thresholds are now:
➡ €83,600 for service-based activities
➡€203,100 for sales and accommodation activities

These limits determine whether you can remain under the micro-entreprise regime, so it’s important to keep track of your annual turnover.

💡 Remember: going over the limit for one year doesn’t automatically mean you lose your micro-entreprise status. In most cases, the threshold must be exceeded for two consecutive years before you move to another regime.

If you run a small business or freelance in France, it’s worth understanding exactly how these new limits work and what happens if you exceed them.

❌ Closed your micro-entreprise? You’re not finished yet…

Many people think that once the activity is declared closed on the INPI website, everything is finished.
In reality, that’s when the important admin checklist begins 😅

After closing your micro-entreprise, you still need to:

✔️ Declare your final turnover to URSSAF
✔️ Keep copies of your declarations (they matter for retirement rights later!)
✔️ Check if you can claim back part of your CFE
✔️ Download your official deregistration certificate
✔️ Archive invoices and bank records in case of inspection
✔️ Declare the income on your tax return next year

Missing one of these steps can cause surprise bills or problems months — sometimes years — later.

French admin doesn’t always end when you think it does…
If you want to make sure everything is properly closed and you won’t hear about it again in 2 years’ time, feel free to message me 🙂

💸 France 2026 Budget: What It Means for Foreigners 💸

Some important changes are coming that could affect anyone living in France from abroad:

➡Carte de séjour: The standard fee for a first-time residence permit will rise from €200 → €300.
➡Naturalisation: The cost to apply for French nationality jumps from €50 → €255.
➡Driving licences: There will be a €40 fee to exchange a foreign driving licence for a French one.

These changes are part of the 2026 budget and could impact anyone planning to settle, stay long-term, or regularise their status in France.

⚠This is part of the draft budget and legislative debate — not all changes are fully adopted yet, and there are ongoing discussions and amendments in the Senate and National Assembly.

But, if you’re planning to apply for any of these in the near future, it might be worth acting sooner rather than later.

💡 Need help navigating these applications or understanding the fees? I can guide you step by step.

🔎 The SIRET Number in France: What It Is and Why It Matters

If you’re hiring a tradesperson, working with a freelancer, or running a business in France, you’ll often hear about the SIRET number. But what does it actually mean?

In short, a SIRET number is a 14-digit identification number that proves a business is officially registered in France. Every legal business must have one — from large companies to micro-entrepreneurs and freelancers. If someone is advertising services but can’t provide a SIRET, that’s a red flag🚩 worth paying attention to.

Knowing how to check a SIRET, where it must legally appear (websites, social media, invoices, flyers…), and how it links to professional obligations like insurance can help you avoid unpleasant surprises and protect yourself as a consumer.
