In the exam (French)

- aNo, deduction at source replaces the tax return.Non, le prélèvement à la source remplace la déclaration.
- bYes, he must declare his income every year.Oui, il doit déclarer ses revenus chaque année.Correct answer
- cYes, but only if he earns more than 50,000 euros.Oui, mais seulement s'il gagne plus de 50 000 euros.
- dNo, foreigners do not have to declare their income.Non, les étrangers n'ont pas à déclarer leurs revenus.
Why?
Paying tax according to your means is a duty of every person who lives in France. Even with tax deducted at source (prélèvement à la source), the annual income tax return is still compulsory. It is used to calculate the exact tax and to obtain a tax notice (avis d’imposition), which is useful for many official procedures.
