Once the tax return has been validated, many taxpayers think that the dice are cast. It is however possible, as every year, to rectify after the deadline its tax return for the previous year: the service concerned, accessible online, opens in effect this Wednesday. It will be available until December 7.
Whether it is an incorrect amount, a forgotten savings account or a bank account opened abroad, taxpayers can, in the event of an error or forgetfulness, modify their declaration on the site. taxes. In addition, the process can be done as many times as necessary. It is also possible to modify the declarations of the two previous tax years, although the administration encourages them to be corrected as soon as possible.
Please note, however, that this process is only valid for a declaration made online: in the case of a paper declaration, the service is not available. You will then have to request a correction directly from the relevant tax department. Finally, for corrections made online, it is not possible to attach supporting documents, especially in the case of a change in family situation such as a PACS or death. However, it is recommended to keep them available to the tax services if necessary.
Once sent, the new declaration will generate a new tax notice, which will indicate the additional amount to be paid, or on the contrary the refund due by the tax authorities. In addition to escaping fines, corrections make it possible to avoid a 10% increase in tax. But to wait too long, taxpayers expose themselves to interest of 0.2% per month. Enough to motivate latecomers.
