IMPOTS.GOUV.FR/ACCUEIL and click on '_votre espace particulier'_ in the top right corner of the website. Underneath, please note there is a link to follow the process in English.

If you are the owner of a property under an SCI, you need to click on '_votre espace professional'_ and then '_Démarches_, then '_Gérer mes biens immobiliers'_. For

this guide, we are looking at how individual homeowners complete the form which is via '_votre espace particulier' _as shown here. STEP TWO: Log into the space using your _numéro

fiscal_ and password. If you do not have a _numéro fiscal_, read our guide HERE about this. STEP THREE: Click on the '_Biens immobiliers'_ section at the top of the page. STEP

FOUR: This page will show a list of the properties you own known to the tax authorities. For most people, this will only be one property. Click the '_consulter'_ button. This

allows you to view what information the tax authorities have on your property. STEP FIVE: Click '_déclaration d'occupation'_ to start the declaration. STEP SIX: Check if the

information is correct. As we have discussed in other articles, there may be discrepancies between points such the m² size of the property and the number of rooms and what you are familiar

with from estate agent listings. This is because different methods are used. Tax officials say in most cases the information listed for the property will be correct. STEP SEVEN: If the

information that appears is correct, you choose '_aucun changement'_. You then double-check the information before clicking '_valider et transmettre'_. If you did not

have to make any changes, you have finished and the form is complete. The information below is for people who need to declare changes to the information. STEP EIGHT: If you need to declare

new details or change existing ones, choose '_déclarer_. STEP NINE: You are then taken through a series of screens. What you see will depend on your individual situation, but here you

will have the opportunity to add or change the information where necessary. STEP TEN: If you have a question, or need to flag that your property details are inaccurate, you can send it to

the tax authorities using the '_messagerie sécurisée'_ at the top of the page. STEP ELEVEN: Once you are sure all the information is correct, you can click on '_validation et

transmettre'_, as seen on the photo for step seven. SOME OTHER HINTS AND TIPS As a reminder, it may be possible to complete the form by calling the _services des impôts _on 0809 401

401, although this can only be done if you are calling from within France. You can find both an FAQ and user’s guide in English from the tax authorities on the website HERE. READ ALSO: IS
