Tax reductions and credits: you have until December 11 to change your advance

Publié le 12 novembre 2025 - Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Do you use a home help? Do you have your children cared for outside your home? Do you pay donations or union dues? Some of these expenditures are eligible for income tax reductions or credits. An advance of 60% of the amount will be paid in January 2026. It will be calculated on your 2024 expenses reported in 2025. You have until December 11 to change this advance. Public Service explain.

Add to my calendar

If you are affected by a reduction or tax credit related to this type of expenditure, a 60% advance of the amount that can be allocated to you will be paid in mid-january 2026. It is calculated on your 2024 expenses reported in 2025.

If you receive an overpayment in January, you will have to repay the overpayment in summer 2026. This may be the case, for example, if you significantly reduced the amount of your donations in 2025 compared to the previous year or if you no longer used a home-based job.

To avoid an overpayment, you must change the advance payment or waive it. You have until December 11, 2025 to do so.

To do this: simply go to your “Individuals” area on impots.gouv.fr, in the “Manage my withholding tax” section, menu “Manage your tax credit and reduction advances”.

FYI  

If you have received an immediate advance from Urssaf for personal services, the amount of this advance will be automatically deducted from the amount paid in January 2026.
