A levy of at least 75 euros is coming soon, many have forgotten it

Many French people have skipped this upcoming deadline.

September and its heavy back-to-school expenses have passed, but that doesn't mean household wallets will be able to breathe. In October, another debit line will also reappear on the bank account. In a few days, 10 million French people will see a direct debit displayed, labeled “DGFIP Direct Debit”.

This will be recorded even if you have not made any purchases with a merchant of this name, or even the amount indicated. But don't panic, this is not fraud. And for good reason, it is the General Directorate of Public Finances.

It is in fact the taxes that will come and help themselves directly from your current account to settle your outstanding balance following your income tax return. Many French people still have to pay a balance to the tax authorities, in addition to the withholding tax already in place throughout the year. On average, around 2000 euros must be paid in addition to the DGFiP.

For people who still have to pay 301 euros or more to the tax authorities, a payment spread over several instalments has been automatically set up, with equal amounts each time. This will therefore represent deductions of at least 75 euros. If you had 1200 euros left at pay, these are four direct debits of 300 euros.

These deadlines are not new since the tax authorities communicated them to the taxpayers concerned in the income tax notice, sent at the end of July. However, since the mail arrived during the summer holidays and the start of the school year has passed, many have forgotten the dates. For those who owe more than 300 euros, the second payment is scheduled for Friday, October 25, one month after the first automatic deduction by the tax authorities. The other dates are already known: Monday, November 25 for the third; then Friday, December 27 for the final payment.
