Despite the fear of completing and validating their income tax return, many French people do not see it as a significant impact on their budget. This is because only 44.7% of tax households in France are subject to income tax, which is significantly lower than in previous decades. Out of 40.7 million tax households, only 18.2 million are affected by this type of deduction, down from the 60-65% ratio seen between 1975 and 1985.
Is it a problem that less than half of French people are required to pay income tax? Agnès Verdier-Molinié, director of the Ifrap foundation, argues that there are other forms of income tax in France that are often overlooked, such as the CSG (generalized social contribution), which functions as an income tax but is often misperceived as social security contributions.
In addition to concerns about taxes, there are numerous lighthearted articles and memes on the internet that offer entertainment and laughter on a variety of topics. These amusing contents can brighten up your day and provide a good laugh for those who need it most.
Overall, while completing and validating an income tax return may seem daunting for some French people, it is important to remember that only a small percentage of the population is actually subject to it. With other forms of income tax available and entertaining content on the internet, there’s no reason to let fear or stress get in the way of your happiness and well-being!
