Why some taxpayers will be deducted twice by the tax authorities this Monday, October 26
Property tax, remaining part of your income tax... French people will be deducted at the start of the week, under certain conditions.
This Monday, October 26, you may be deducted from your bank account by the tax authorities. This means that you still had to pay an amount greater than 300 euros, for the balance of income tax.
The amount due is taken in four installments: a first part has already been taken on September 25, before that of this Monday. The following two samples will take place on November 25 and December 28, specifies the website of the Ministry of the Economy. The bank wording will appear as follows in your account: “DIRECTIONAL GENERAL OF PUBLIC FINANCES – INCOME TAX BALANCE 2025”.
People whose tax notice is only issued in October will only have two deductions, on November 25 and December 28, notes L'Union.
For some taxpayers, this tax levy will not be the only one of the day. Indeed, property owners who have chosen not to pay property tax directly, as they could do until October 20, will be automatically deducted in one go this Monday, October 26, notes Bercy in a press release. The bill looks steep, especially at the end of the month.
Note that the amount of property tax paid by owners almost doubled between 2005 and 2025 in France, largely due to the increase in tax bases indexed to inflation, the National Union of Real Estate Owners (UNPI) indicated in mid-October. In 20 years, the property tax has increased by 93.4%, or two and a half times the inflation over the same period.
Within this development, there is on the one hand the increase in property tax rates, decided by local authorities, which have increased by 32% in 20 years. And on the other hand the 46% increase in rental values, which serve as the basis for calculating the tax and are revalued annually to keep up with inflation.
Among the 50 most populous cities, Paris experienced the largest increase in property taxes in 20 years: +261%. The city has significantly increased its property tax rate, which was particularly low, and is still one of the large cities with the lowest rates.
