The income tax scale has been revised, and this is good news for millions of French people.
Once this year, this year, the finance bill, adopted late, takes into account inflation. A news that directly concerns the French, because the subject of taxes is central in budgetary texts. The new finance law for 2025 thus provides for a revision of the income tax scale, which is in favor of millions of households. This must “Allowing that 18 million people do not see their income tax increase “, announced the Minister of Economy and Finance Éric Lombard. And indeed, the Bayrou government has decided to revalue the sets of the income tax scale up to 1.8%, to align with the inflation of 2024 which has established it remember 2 %.
Concretely, in 2025, millions of taxpayers will not see their taxes increase, and 600,000 non -taxable households will remain so, even if they benefited from a slight salary increase last year. On the other hand, if a taxpayer has seen his remuneration increase beyond the 1.8% indexing of the scale, there is a good chance that he pays more income tax this year. Here are the new sets in force of the 2025 tax scale on the 2024 income:
| Termination of taxable income (for a part) | TRAIN COMPOSITION RATE |
|---|---|
| Up to 11,492 euros | 0% |
| From 11,493 euros to 29,315 euros | 11% |
| From 29,316 euros to 83,823 euros | 30% |
| From 83,824 euros to 180,294 euros | 41% |
| Greater than 180,294 euros | 45% |
In fact, by doing the calculation, for a single person, without children (who therefore represents a tax share), who declares 32,000 euros net per year, the amount of income tax payable will be 2,766, 03 euros, instead of 2,886.23 euros last year. If we take the example of a married or PACS couple with two dependent children (therefore three tax shares), to the taxable net income of 65,000 euros, the amount of their tax corresponds according to the new scale to 3,357, 75 euros. If it was located below the 3,248 euros threshold, the family could have obtained a maximum discount of 1,470 euros.
A discount is indeed granted to households which declare modest resources. It thus reduces the amount of income tax payable. These new slices will be applied for income tax returns from April 2025.
