(Provisional) French 2021 Tax Rates

Overview of provisional tax rates for France in 2021.

Provisional Tax Bands and Rates for 2021

The provisional bands and rates for 2021 (for 2020 household income) are outlined below and are subject to parliamentary approval in December 2020.

The income levels in each band will increase by 0.2% for inflation, but for two bands, the maximum income figure has been reduced due to the reduction in the rate of the second band from 14% to 11%.

Income Bands and Tax Rates

| **Income Share** | **Tax Rate** | |-----------------------------|--------------| | Up to €10,084 | 0% | | Between €10,085 – €25,710 | 11% | | Between €25,711 – €73,516 | 30% | | Between €73,517 – €158,122 | 41% | | Above €158,122 | 45% |

Fractional Taxation System

The rates are applied on a fractional basis, meaning that each household "part" of the income is taxed progressively. For example, if a couple has a net household income of €30,000 in 2020, there are two "parts" of €15,000, with each part taxed using the scale rates.
