Withholding tax system
The French parliament has definitively adopted the 2018 finance law which confirms that the withholding tax at source will be implemented with effect from 1 January 2019.
The withholding tax system will apply to French source compensation whether paid by French or foreign entities. French employers are responsible for withholding on a monthly basis the tax on the amounts of salaries they pay.
For compensation paid by non-French employers, monthly or quarterly income tax pre-payments will be required.
