The Question of the Week
What change in the withholding tax rate in September?
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The question: I have heard of an adjustment to the withholding tax rate which is planned for September. What exactly is it?
Service-public's response: The levy rate is automatically recalculated in September by the tax administration from the 2018 income tax return you filed in 2019. It will apply to your salary or retirement for 12 months and will be amended, if necessary, each year on the 1ster September.
If your situation has changed between 2017 and 2018 (your income has increased or decreased, your expenses are higher or have decreased, you have had a child or he is no longer dependent on you...), your tax rate is modified accordingly.
The new rate is automatically transmitted to your employer by the tax authority. Without action on your part, it will be applied to your income from September 2019 to August 2020, before being updated again in September 2020 according to your family situation and your income from 2019.
It may happen that the paying agency does not receive the new rate from the tax authorities in time to apply it as early as September. In that case, it will be in October.
Please note
If you received exceptional income in 2018, you have to pay income tax in September. Since no direct debit is performed, you can:
- pay online at www.impots.gouv.fr ;
- Use the heel at the bottom of the tax notice to pay by SEPA TIP or check.
- pay in cash or by credit card with the public finance center if the amount due is less than or equal to €300.
