Completing and validating income tax returns can be a daunting task for many French people. However, for a large number of taxpayers, this will not significantly impact their budget. The good news is that less than half of the French population actually pays income tax, with only 44.7% of tax households being subject to it in 2023. Out of 40.7 million tax households, only 18.2 million are taxed in this way, a significant decrease from the 60-65% ratio seen between 1975 and 1985.
This may seem like a problem to some, but Agnès Verdier-Molinié, director of the Ifrap foundation, points out that there are other forms of income tax in France, such as the CSG (generalized social contribution), which is often perceived as social security contributions but functions as an income tax.
