The rest to pay for these millions of tax households will be deducted in one or more times between September and December, indicates the tax administration.
An important reform of 2019, the withholding tax had the merit to simplify the income tax for administration and taxpayers. The 41 million taxpayers are nevertheless needed to tackle their income tax return, and the differences indicated between the amount due at the source of the source and the amount due give rise to rectifications every year.
In 2025 no fewer than 13.1 million tax households will have the bad news that they have to pay an income tax balance for the year 2024, learned Le Figaro to the Directorate General of Public Finance (DGFIP), which confirms information from Parisian . On average, this balance is 1901 euros. This scenario is presented when the taxpayer benefited from an excessive reduction or tax credit advance in January 2025, or if he did not change his withheld rate after an increase in income.

The figure exploded compared to last year. “Only” 9.8 million taxpayers had to pay a rest to pay (on average 2127 euros) for their income from 2023. The gap is explained by an increase in wages that are larger than those of the tax scale. The fundamental monthly salary in the private sector increased by 2.8% in 2024 according to figures from the Directorate of Research, Studies and Statistics (DARES) from the Ministry of Labor. At the same time, the tranches of the Income Tax Scale 2024 only rose by 1.8%.

For the 13.1 million tax households involved, the balance will be deducted from the bank account that has been communicated to the tax administration. This levy will be made immediately in September 2025 if the amount is less than 300 euros and in four monthly samples (from September to December) if the amount is greater than 300 euros.
But in addition to the losers, there are the winners: about 13.2 million households will benefit from a reimbursement of the tax administration. This is the case if their income has fallen, or if they have delayed the birth of a child that gives the right to explain an extra semi -share, or if they spent expenses in 2024 that open rights to tax reductions or loans (donations, domestic employment, child guards, etc.). Some received their reimbursement on July 25. Others will have it on August 1, warns Bercy. They are paid by bank transfer or by a check.
