The bad news of summer, Pierre Lostanlen discovered it on the tax site. “”There, I have just received my 2025 taxation on the income of 2024 and I have just learned, unfortunately, that I have a remainder of 306 euros“says the consultant.
Each month, however, it was taken from 152.72 euros directly on its salaries. An amount calculated from its tax rate, which has remained unchanged from last year. But his income has increased. “”In 2024, I made a little rental on a well -known rental platform in France, around 2,000 euros year -round over thirty nights, which made me pass through a higher tax bracket“Explains Pierre Lostanlen.
Like him, 13.1 million tax households have a tax balance to pay this year: 1,901 euros on average. These are concerned those whose tax situation changed in 2024, after a divorce for example or the departure of a dependent child, but also people whose remuneration has increased. There were many in 2024.
“”The income tax scales have increased by around 2 to 3 %. It follows that, if we have an increase in salary of 5, 6 or 7 % and we have not previously anticipated it, we find ourselves not having been taken sufficiently on our pay sheet and therefore having to make an extension for the 2024 taxation“Said Olivier Villois, national secretary of the CGT for public finances.
To avoid unpleasant surprises in the event of a change in income or family situation, you can adjust your withholding tax rate directly to the tax site.
