Income tax - How should a caregiver report income?
Verified 08 June 2023 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)
What applies to you ?
Are you a family caregiver and an employee of a person with a disability? You must report the amounts collected for this activity. But if you're just a family caregiver and you're compensated, it's not taxable, so you don't have to declare it.
Employee caregiver
You have to report your family caregiver income in the family caregiver class Wages.
You have to report your income to the tax department if you are resident in France or your tax domicile is in France.
The declaration shall be obligatory, regardless of your income.
So you have to fill it out even if you've received only limited resources.
You can get:
- a non-taxation notice, necessary to benefit from certain aids (e.g. housing aid),
- the refund of the tax credits you are entitled to.
You must not realize only one declaration of income by tax shelter.
The income and expenses of all members of your tax household are therefore taken into account when establishing a single tax.
Online
Internet reporting is mandatory if your principal residence is equipped with internet access and you are able to file your return online.
In the event of non-compliance with the obligation to declare one's income via the Internet, an increase of 0.2% of the amount of tax payable is provided, with a minimum of €60.
