Withholding at the source: the employees, what to do in case of doubt

14.5 million employees of the private and the public will receive at the end of January their pay docked tax at the source.

In a few hours, after the retired and the self-employed, 14,5 25 million employees in the private and the public, those who are subject to income tax, will receive their salary reduced by the withholding at the source. The other $ 10.5 million are not affected.

there are already several months that some employees may see the net amount after tax on their payslips. The questions are likely to be many. Among them, those which relate to the privacy. By default, this is the standard rate that applies, the one that comes closest to the actual amount of the tax. But you can also choose the neutral rate, in order to avoid that your employer has knowledge of the actual amount of your tax, or rate, to the individual, which is a function of the respective earnings of each spouse or in a civil partnership.

Another question, what will happen if the employer does not pay any of the amounts withheld at source to the tax authorities ? "No need to worry, reassures Olivier Rozenfeld, president of Fidroit, a specialist in property taxation. He is liable to a fine. But you will not be asked to pay a second time the tax which has already been taken."

In case of an error, you can fix the rate with your company. As a reminder, it is mentioned on your tax notice, but also in your personal space on the site "impots.gouv.fr".
