Step-by-step procedure
Section actions
- 1Check your rate on impots.gouv.fr in your particular space: this is the percentage your employer is withholding from the wage.
- 2The rate is transmitted to the employer by the taxes automatically; you have nothing to send to pay.
- 3For couples, choose the type of rate: individualized rate (each of its own, according to its income) or personalized rate (common).
- 4In case of a significant change (loss of employment, birth, divorce), ask for a discount on the rate to pay a realistic amount.
- 5Remember: the SAP is a collection mechanism, not a substitute for the return; the return remains annual and mandatory.
Common mistakes
Section actions
- Believing that the SAP replaces the return.
- Do not update the rate in case of income decline: you then pay too much.
- Gross and net consolidation: the net is already after PAS.
