Here, two solutions are available to you after completing your return, obtaining a refund because you were not taxable in 2021 or over a period of the year. Or else, settle an income tax balance. This balance corresponds to the total amount of income tax you owe on income received in 2021 after deducting the amounts that have already been deducted from you at source in 2021. The tax return contains certain income already entered such as salaries, pensions, unemployment benefits and daily allowances, or income from movable capital. Before validating your pre-filled declaration, you must check the information provided and, if necessary, correct and complete it. The withholding tax introduced in 2019 has not changed anything, you are still required to complete your declaration, it is an obligation.

If your home has internet access, it is mandatory to complete your declaration directly online. Otherwise, a dedicated form may be offered to you.
To declare online, you must connect to your private space with your tax number and your password. If you do not yet have a password, enter your tax number, your online access number and your reference tax income. You will find these identifiers on the tax return received in April (tax number and online access number) and on the tax notice received in August N-1 (reference tax income).
If you have forgotten your tax number or your password, on the authentication screen, the procedures allow you to recover your identifiers.
Once authenticated, select the “Declare my income” service. Your online declaration will be pre-filled with information known to the administration.

Then, you will complete the other income you have received and the charges, reductions or tax credits to which you are entitled. Don’t forget to sign your online declaration for it to be taken into account.
