“It is now possible to declare your income in three clicks, like ordering a takeaway. » Thomas Cazenave did not ultimately utter this sentence, during the presentation of the new tax campaign, this Thursday morning in Bercy. However, it was well planned in his speech.
Did the Minister for Public Accounts consider it too trivial, for a subject that affects the budget of 40 million French people? However, it had the merit of illustrating the ease with which it is now possible to file your income tax return.
The General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP) took advantage of the opening of the service this Thursday, April 11 to present something new: the possibility of making your declaration on your smartphone, via the impots.gouv mobile application.

Until now, the latter was only available to consult your declaration or to validate an automatic declaration. But the administration services have worked in recent months to develop an extension, in order to transpose new functionalities of the website – which already allows you to make your declaration online – on your phone.
“The income tax declaration has changed a lot, and it continues to evolve,” explains Thomas Cazenave. After the implementation of electronic declaration, pre-filling or even withholding tax, we continue to enrich the service offering each year. » With one objective: simplification and adaptation to new uses. 90% of French people now have a smartphone. “We therefore wish to develop our digital service offering for all of our audiences, and in particular the youngest,” adds the Minister of Public Accounts.
Changes in family situation are not yet permitted
The interface has therefore been designed to be as intuitive as possible. Authentication is done with the same codes as for the website. The essential account information is then recalled, such as the declaration deadline for example, depending on the geographical area where the main residence is located. Then the route is organized into four main stages. Firstly, with a “Situation” page, which gives the composition of the tax household, the address and even the bank details.
On some of this information, it is possible to make modifications, such as declaring a birth, deducting childcare costs or adding a dependent. “On the other hand, changes such as that of family situation, divorce or PACS are not permitted for the moment,” the ministry is told. But the application will gradually be enriched with new features. This is only the first step. »
An “Income” page then details the cash receipts from the previous year by section, in the form of a pre-filled declaration (DPR). Like what is already possible on the site, other income can be added or deleted with a simple click. The “charges” are also the subject of a dedicated page. Finally, a “summary” presents a provisional calculation of the tax, and allows you to sign your declaration directly on your phone. Almost in three clicks, like ordering a takeaway.
