TAXES 2022 – DECLARE YOUR 2021 INCOME NOW

Are you an international researcher or PhD student working at one of the CMI member institutions and you've worked in France in 2021? 
You have to fill out your tax return.

The declaration concerns only people who worked in France from 01/01/2021 to 12/31/2021 (people who arrived after are not concerned and will have to fill their first income tax return in 2023).

May 12 Update -  The paper version filing deadline is extended to 5/31  instead of 5/19. 
The CMI Rennes appointment schedule is full. If you need assistance, please contact the Tax department.

You can get the tax form (printed 2042) online. After completing it, signing it and adding all the documents needed, you must send it to the Individual Tax Department before midnight on May 31st 2022 :
