I am locked out of impots.gouv.fr
I used to have access but can no longer access the account. The notaire refuses to help. I live in UK and am struggling.
Tax returns are overdue and I have no idea how to get into the site.
Any idea? Registered letter will take months to action anything.
What is the error you are getting?
I bet myself a cookie it’s the Impôts portal’s use of a 2FA code via an email address the OP can’t access.
Was thinking might even just need a vpn. Windscribe will give you a trial free.
That the password is not right. So it offers to send link to now inaccessible email address or phone number. I do not know which. Thank you
I owe you a cookie Notalot.
Could you phone ImpĂ´ts and ask for a paper return? Perhaps that might spark them into trying to fix it.
Are you near a French Embassy in the UK?
I’d be shocked if they couldn’t help in some way.
Plan B…will try tomorrow morning!
VPN not changing anything. Passwords wrong apparently
Have you got a paper version/ when did your parents die/were they British?
If all the formalities were done, then the fisc will already know and there’s nothing to be done.
I’ve just been through this for a friend - paper copy in her post box for the previous owner who died last December. I went to the Avranches tax office and they said nothing to do, don’t worry about it.
Thank you Mark. No one has done anything. A lot of acrimony, sadly, although not over the inheritance, just the enormous mess left by parents.
I am in the UK. Notaire done nothing for a year. Getting updates -impossible. I have the paper copy of the last tax return done in 2024 for 2023. My password no longer works. There is an accountancy firm in Paris - Elitex, found on internet, who will turn to if all fails. Getting the bank to release funds to pay to sort out mess is also hard work.
I really wouldn’t worry about the tax declaration side of things, but good luck with the rest of it.
I’m worried about all the fines accruing from overshooting 6 month deadlines for succession/tax and the notaire so absent. Service charges and unpaid utilities standing charges.
Who are they going to fine?
The diminishing estate!
What do I do about renewing house insurance or will the house not be covered?
The insurance normally continues until cancelled, but you need to check. You would probably be better going to the house to sort through any paperwork and go to see the notaire. Where is the property?
You won’t be able to gain access to their personal space on impôts - it will be blocked if they have died. And if it hasn’t been the you still shouldn’t really use it.
Are you able to phone their local impĂ´ts? Or get someone to phone for you?
You can download forms and fill in with previous details. It is best to get something in by the deadline, even if wrong, as you can change it when the amendments period opens later in the year.
Insurance important, so also phone insurance company!
Thank you. All so helpful. Swimming in bureaucracy and lost. Will download and have a go..or get accountant in France.
