Technical Glitch Disrupts French Property Tax Payments

A technical issue has rendered the French tax website inaccessible ahead of the October 20 payment deadline, affecting millions of property owners.

The online tax payment platform, impots.gouv.fr, has been inaccessible since Monday due to a technical glitch, causing significant disruption.
Property owners have until October 20 to pay their property tax online without incurring penalties, despite the website issues.
The tax authority has assured taxpayers that payments can be made using alternative methods, such as checks or in-person payments, with varying deadlines.
The property tax has increased by at least 3.9% this year due to inflation adjustments, impacting all property owners.
Last year, 33 million individuals and entities were subject to property tax, with a total contribution of 50.8 billion euros.
