Lhe Ministry of the Economy announced Tuesday to postpone until August 10 the deadline for the declaration of real estate “to allow all owners a serene declaration”, following two postponements due to the influx of declarations. “In recent days, many owners have validated the declaration of occupation of their real estate,” said the ministry in a statement.

“To allow all owners a peaceful declaration and to ensure fair taxation of taxpayers, the Manage my real estate service will collect declarations until August 10,” he announced. This is the third postponement of this declaration campaign which took many owners by surprise and displeased the public finance unions who denounced in particular an overload of work for tax officials.

An “influx of declarations”

The deadline had already been postponed for the first time at the end of June by a month, from June 30 to July 31, the Ministry of the Economy then invoking “the influx of declarations”, then a second time by only 24 hours, from June 31 July to 1^is August, due to a problem accessing the tax website. The obligation to declare real estate for residential use came into force on 1^is January in order to identify the premises still liable for council tax. This was abolished for all main residences in 2023, but remains liable for secondary residences.READ ALSOTaxes: which French people will be reimbursed by the tax authorities this Monday?

On the tax site, each owner must indicate for each of his properties his situation: if it is empty, in what capacity he occupies it himself or decline the identity of a possible tenant. Latecomers are liable to a fine of 150 euros, but “as this is a new procedure”, the Directorate General of Public Finance will show “benevolence” and “no penalty will be applied this year”.
