    Taxation

    France does not have a PAYE system. Amounts automatically deducted from your gross salary on your pay slip are social contributions. In February each year, you will have to fill a déclaration de revenus (Tax return) asking you to state your income for the previous year. You will have to send this déclaration de revenus to your local Centre des Impôts (Tax Office). For more information about your taxes in France, contact your local Tax Office or:
