Income tax for 2014

[powerdesal]

We have just received '' Avis de Premier acompte 2015 Impot sur les revenus de l'annee 2014''

Now we have not yet submitted a tax form for the 2014 income, and as the amount to pay is 1/3 of the amount paid last year for the income of 2013 I assume that the tax office have assumed that my / our income will be the same and hence will bill us for 3 payments of 1/3 each time.

Am i right in assuming that, after receipt of our tax return for 2014 income they will adjust / balance etc the payment required against the payment made ( in either direction )

Yes.

Second bill about May, and the balance around October

All the dates as to when these amounts are due will be on the 'impots' web site.

edit:

and for those who may want to, it is also possible to change the amounts

You don't have to pay them either, you can wait till your tax bill comes through then pay it all in one go. We put our money in a savings account instead every month. At least we make something from it, why should I give the money to them and they do it. They won't remove the interest they get from my tax bill.

Don't they make you pay a surcharge if you don't pay them?

WE got them last year for the first time and went through it with a translator just to be sure and no you don't. Its a service if you want to use it..

That was my understanding and was also what the nice lady at the tax office said. I "had to" visit because my bill was based on a year when I was working in France and I had subsequently retired, so the bill of the first third was more than the actual amount owed for the full year.
