Tax return change

Tax return change - From today Thursday April 10th, France’s 2024 income tax return campaign introduces an individualized default tax rate for married and civil partnership couples, replacing the previous joint tax rate. This change, set to be implemented by September 2025, aims to reduce gender inequality, as women's income is currently 24% lower than men's in the private sector. The new system will apply a tax rate based on each spouse's income, though couples can still opt for the joint rate via the impots.gouv.fr website.
