While the DGFiP sets a different deadline depending on where you live, 5 million households must submit their tax returns to the tax authorities by Tuesday, May 20. This includes all those who file their tax returns on paper. The deadline for filing at La Poste is set for that day, at 11:59 p.m.
Furthermore, all those living in departments 1 to 19, or 9.5 million households (including paper declarations), are required to complete their declaration by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, May 22. The same applies to all French people living abroad, or just under 900,000 people.
For other households, the deadline varies depending on the city you live in. You can quickly find it using our search engine further down in this article.

What is the deadline for submitting your paper tax return to the tax authorities in 2025?Around 10 million French people still file their taxes on paper.
