Base Parts:
- Single person: 1 part
- Married / PACS: 2 parts
Children:
- 1st child → +0.5 part
- 2nd child → +0.5 part

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is French income tax monthly?
A: Yes, income tax is usually
withheld at source (prélèvement à la source) on a monthly basis from your salary or
pension.
Q: Do non-residents pay French income tax?
A: Yes, non-residents
are subject to French income tax on French-source income, though tax treaties may
apply.
Q: Can tax credits reduce tax to zero?
A: Yes, tax credits can
reduce your tax liability to zero. Some credits (like the employment tax credit) may
even result in a refund depending on eligibility.
Q: Is family quotient capped?
A: Yes, the tax advantage per
half-part (demi-part) is capped by law to prevent excessive tax reductions for very
high incomes. The cap is reviewed annually.
Q: How does the family quotient reduce taxes?
A: By splitting
taxable income among parts (marital status + children), lower tax brackets apply per
part. The tax per part is then multiplied by the number of parts, resulting in
significant savings for families.
Q: What is the difference between gross income and taxable
income?
A: Gross income (revenu brut) is your total income before
any deductions. Taxable income (revenu imposable) is gross income minus deductible
expenses and allowances.
