THE DATE PAYMENTS ARE TAKEN OUT ARE SET IN THE FRENCH TAX CODE Reader Question: I am paying monthly income tax instalments due to receiving a foreign state pension. These are on the 15th of
the month – can I change this so they are taken at the start of the month instead? No, these instalments are taken – monthly or three-monthly – on the 15th every month because this date is
set in the French tax code (Code général des impôts). There is no option to modify this. It is the same for any taxes that may optionally be paid on a ‘monthly’ basis, such as the property
taxes. The only exception is if this falls on a weekend or public holiday, in which case the payment is taken on the first working day afterwards. Read more: These are the 2025 income tax
declaration deadlines, by department in France For example, if the 15th falls on a Saturday, then it will be taken on Monday 17. However, you do have the option as to whether the amounts are
taken monthly or three-monthly and you can change this in your personal space at the tax website in the prélèvement à la source section under the heading j’opte pour un prélèvement
trimestriel. If you do this the change takes effect the following January.
