Welcome to the North American tax attaché’s webpages

Our ambition: to provide you with answers to your questions pertaining to the tax treaties signed by France and the US, Canada and Mexico. But also provide you with general information on French taxation.

Under no circumstances can the taxation office intervene in solving a specific case.

Before sending us your letter/email/fax (the taxation office doesn’t accept walk-ins or questions by phone), please check that the information requested is not available on the webpages of the Embassy’s taxation office.

The 2020 income tax return for non-resident individuals

The income tax return campaign is open for non-residents subject to tax obligations in France for their income from French sources (subject to international tax treaty provisions).

The deadline for the 2020 e-filing tax return is May 26, 2021. Filing returns online is mandatory for all users via their personal account within the impots.gouv.fr portal.

For users unable to file returns online, the deadline for filing paper tax return is May 20, 2021.

You can choose the average rate when you file your return online. For more information on the average rate please click here.
