Taxes: how to adapt your tax rate at source?

As part of the withholding tax, a withholding tax rate is applied to your income.

You can adjust this rate at any time to adapt the amount of your monthly withdrawals to your new situation.

To do this, you have to go to your private space on impots.gouv.fr, in the

or

Discount due to increased or decreased revenues

with an estimate of your income for the year 2021 for the tax household. It's about assessing the revenue you'll receive in 2021, based on the information that only you know.

Once you have recalculated your rate, you must confirm it to ensure that it is properly taken into account. It will be sent to your employer for application on the next levies on your salary.

Changes in the rate of withholding tax shall be valid only for the current calendar year. Your current rate will expire on December 31, 2021. At 1^er January 2022, this rate will be replaced by the rate calculated on your 2020 spring 2021 income tax return. To keep the rate you changed, you need to change it again at the end of 2021, so that it will be taken into account as of January 2022 by your employer, pension fund or for the payment of your deposits. If you do not take action, the rate calculated on your last return will apply.
