Opening a bank account<\/h3><\/span><\/div>
\n

It is very difficult to open a bank account in France from abroad. You can ask your usual bank if they have a branch or partner bank in France and start the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, once you have arrived, we will give you our local contacts in different banks that can welcome you in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beware: if you’re going to work for a French public institution, their finance department usually refuses to pay salaries into bank accounts belonging to an electronic money institution (EME in French) ! Make sure that the bank you choose (if it’s an online bank) doesn’t offer you an e-money account.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO HANDLE TAX INCOME IN FRANCE ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In France, income tax is usually deducted from your salary each month according to a personalised rate (the PAS-p<\/strong>r\u00e9l\u00e8vement \u00e0<\/strong> la s<\/strong>ource).
However all incomes must be declared once a year in May to the fiscal administration so they check your global tax situation and if your PAS rate is well adjusted.

We inform\/remind you sometime in April about submitting your tax report with an updated guide<\/strong> (see below). If needed, we can also help you filling it in, in the limit of our knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remain vigilant when the period of incomes declaration starts in May, as it ‘s a mandatory <\/strong>administrative step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> IF YOU ARRIVED IN FRANCE IN 2025 or BEFORE :<\/strong> you must do a tax declaration in May 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
