I’m also seeing those figures you quoted all over the internet and wondering if there are some allowances or other built into them that aren’t immediately obvious.
But even if you factor in a 10% abattement, a couple with €32,258 and no kids would still have to pay around €700 in tax. Not zero €.
By my reckoning (which might be completely wrong).
There is the decote however it reduces tax due, not eliminates it.
Pour l’imposition des revenus 2023, le montant de la décote s’obtient en retranchant 45,25 % du montant de l’impôt brut à la somme forfaitaire de 873 € pour une imposition individuelle ou de 1 444 € pour une imposition commune.
edit - also abattement personnes âgées - for less than €16,410 the deduction is €2,640; less than €26,400 the deduction is €1,310
Mystery solved. Those new thresholds quoted by Shiba are - for now - just a proposal. To be voted on in the Spring.
Thanks for that. We do try our best but sometimes need others to clarify as we are all in the same boat.
I don’t get it. Helenochka’s link says that they want to increase the tax-free allowance by 2% in line with inflation, but then says it will increase from 11,295 to 17,084???
Right ‘nuff. They must be even worse at maths than I am.
It’s an absolutely massive increase in thresholds. I thought France was supposed to be broke.
Always nice to have someone else to fumble in the dark with.
Then at the end, it says ‘up to €11,294 , you pay nothing’ and above that, you do pay tax.
Frankly, I think perhaps we all need a stiff drink, a hot chocolate, mug of tea… whatever…
Let’s wait for the Finance Bill to go through and all the information will come rattling over the internet from the Official Sources
