Have you tried logging into the impôts website, Mary, using your details? Possibly via FranceConnect?
Doesnt that only give the summary, not the form I completed?
no, when one downloads, it should appear like the paper form e.g. 2047 - filled in with your online entries. This my last from 2022, though no reason to suggest it’s changed since then?
Same as HMRC when you request to download your actual return.
You need to drill down to the actual documents - not a summary?
I print out every page that is filled in online apart from bits to do with infants, people in same house etc, and any other pages that do not concern my particular status. I may come in useful should anyone query it later on and especially the CSS allocation yearly when they made a huge mistake last year thinking somehow I was receiving €15,000/month and then after three days admitted their computer or operator had erred and I was back to normal. These online declarations and demands are not always 100% error proofed.
I logged in yesterday at work and did a screenshot for you. To show you how to access individual annexes from previous years, in addition to the summary.
Give me a while to get into the office and I’ll
post it.
Thank you. That would be really helpful.
Here you go.
Log into your personal tax space and you should see a list of all your online tax bills and declarations over the years.
Scroll down to the declaration you want to access and click on “Afficher les documents liés”. That should bring up a list including not just the tax summary but also any “annexes” you filed for that year.

Thank you so much, very helpful.
There are multiple (perfectly valid) permutations for arriving at an average annual exchange rate. These include using month end exchange rate averages over a year, or using rates at the beginning and end of the year, or ECB averages etc etc. All variants on the above should be acceptable - and indeed will no doubt produce slightly different answers that might vary +/- 0.5%.The key is to use an appropriate rate that you can defend if ever challenged, (however unlikely) that you use consistently for all recurring (as opposed to one-offs) income in that year.
I have a 2042 complémentaire to complete. The only relevant parts seem to be my micro fonciers revenue and my S1 status. This page is confusing me as it asks for pension after tax has been taken. Net pension not gross which seems odd. Does anyone else have experience of this form? I don’t think I filled it in last year but can’t remember
Currently basking in that feeling of relaxation and tranquillity , tinged with a bit of smugness, that always follows a successful (fairly) early submission of a tax return.
Thought this year’s form was an improvement on previous ones and was impressed by the help that automatically appeared after I’d omitted one digit in an entry due to a typing error and put another in the wrong box.
“I love this time of the year—you know, when you make sense of all our spending.”

Do you have a UK government service pension? If so, although it’s not (directly) taxable in France, it is taken into account for the purposes of calculating French tax on your other income. The mechanism for so doing is to report your net of UK tax government pension (in box 1AH.) I defer obviously to to the experiences of anyone who actually does have such a pension, but having just looked at the tax treaty (avoidance of double tax) article it specifies reporting such income net of tax.
If you don’t have a government pension I can’t see why you’d need to report anything in box 1AH.
Thank you George. This is the only place where it asks for pension net. It is a civil service widows pension. I assume, perhaps wrongly, that I enter the gross amount elsewhere ie on the 2042 and 2047. I think I just entered my microfoncier and ticked box for being an S1 holder onthis 2042 complementaire last year. I am going to tax office tomorrow so might get clarification. Certainly never got this when my husband was alive so quite confused.
Yes, you enter the gross in section 6 of 2047 and 8TK of 2042 (ie sections that generate a tax credit equal to the French tax that would have arisen on that income -to avoid double taxation).
Thank you so much. If I try and file online and find it too confusing, can I delete? I had to do that on Uk self assessment but perhaps not possible here
You could try the online version and if you’re not happy, just don’t submit it at the end.
Do you all get estimates of what you owe, which are provided automatically when doing the online return?
Possibly even before final submission.
My friend does and I have no idea how. I don’t think he consciously uses the simulator or anything like that.
He says the tax return tells him how much he can expect to pay in tax and CSG etc. And that it’s usually very accurate.
I’ve never knowingly been given an estimate. Always have to wait until August.
Not always. Sometimes you get a message to says that they can’t give you one instantly, I assume because it needs further checking by an actual person.
I just keep editing the actual return if something seems incorrect. You can go back to the beginning & change pretty much everything if you wish.
As long as you don’t press the go button you can play around to your heart’s content.
A few days later I also get an Avis de Situation Déclarative which shows the full calculations of exactly how they arrived at the taxes due (or even due back to me, rather more rarely!)
