Overview
- The tax authority will transfer the advance on Thursday, labeled “AVANCE CREDIMPOT,” to the bank account listed on impots.gouv.fr, with checks sent by the end of January if no valid details are on file.
- The average payment is about €638 per household, according to the Economy Ministry’s services.
- Eligibility covers households that previously claimed reductions or credits for domestic help, childcare, Ehpad fees, donations, union dues, or certain rental investments.
- The advance equals 60% of amounts declared in 2025 for 2024 expenses, with the remaining 40% scheduled for summer 2026 on a date yet to be announced.
- Reconciliation after the 2026 declaration may require repayment if entitlements fall, while first-time 2025 beneficiaries will receive their full amount in summer 2026 rather than this January.
