If you are having trouble accessing france’s tax site, here is why

THE WEBSITE IS UNDER PRESSURE AS PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SUBMIT MANDATORY PROPERTY FORMS BEFORE THE END OF JULY If you try to log on to your French tax space on Thursday (July 6) at the

IMPOTS.GOUV.FR website, you may notice that some features are inaccessible. A series of maintenance work and updates to the website will leave parts of both the personal and professional

spaces unavailable to use. “Due to maintenance works, online services will be partially or completely unavailable on July 6,” announced French tax authorities. All in all, five sections of

the website will be either completely or partially unavailable at certain times on Thursday as the updates are applied. This includes the _gestion des biens immobiliers _section, which is

where you go to submit the mandatory property declaration. READ MORE: WHY HAS THE MANDATORY PROPERTY TAX FORM DEADLINE BEEN EXTENDED? WHAT PARTS OF THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNAVAILABLE? Below is

a list of the sections of the website that will be unavailable: On the personal space (_espace particulier_), there are a number of areas that will be down, including: * The document

registration (_d'enregistrement des actes_), sending a message to the tax authorities (_de messagerie sécurisée_) and making an appointment with your local tax office (prise de

rendez-vous) requests will be unavailable between 07:00 – 10:00 and 16:30 – 18:00 * The section regarding your owned properties (_gestion des biens immobiliers_) will be unavailable for two

hours, between 08:00 – 10:00 * The contact details for local services (_coordonnées de services territoriaux_) usually found in the Contacts section will be missing between 07:00 – 10:00 and

16:30 – 18:00 * The ability to view documents, and to access the ‘tax’ (_impôts_) section within the payments (_paiments_) menu will be “intermittent at best, if not interrupted” between

the evening of July 5 to the evening of July 6 – the tax authorities give no defined time to when the service will be completely available again. If you need to use the tax website today,

you should wait until later tonight (or if possible, tomorrow), to make sure you can access everything you need to without any issues. RELATED ARTICLES FRENCH PUBLIC SERVICES: ‘WE CANNOT
