Taxes: errors in the pre-filled declarations of thousands of civil servants

A year after a first bug related to overtime for civil servants, new errors have crept into the pre-filled tax declarations of certain civil servants, according to a document published on the website of the General Directorate of Public Finance (DGFiP). The bug concerns at most “a few tens of thousands of civil servants” (out of 5.7 million public officials in France), entrusted the DGFiP to the daily Ouest-France which revealed the information.

"You are concerned (by these errors, editor's note) if you work for the State civil service and if you worked overtime in 2022 and/or received a deposit on November 28, 2022", indicates the DGFiP . These errors, revealed almost a month after the launch of the 2023 declarative campaign, are due to poor application by the administration of the increase in the overtime exemption ceiling (raised from 5,000 to 7,500 euros in 2022).

In concrete terms, this error may have wrongly inflated the income subject to tax for certain taxpayers, and therefore the amount owed by them to the administration. Another error noted by the DGFiP, which invites taxpayers to correct their tax return: certain installments paid on November 28, 2022 would not have been included in the taxable income of the agents concerned.

Last year a larger bug affected one million taxpayers. The DGFiP had been forced to suspend the campaign for declaring income received in 2021, before affirming in a press release that the errors in the pre-filling of declarations by the administration concerned “the only agents of the three public services who worked hours additional in 2021”.

Launched on April 13, the 2023 tax return campaign ends on May 25 for online declarants residing in departments numbered from 1 to 19, on June 1 for those who live in a department numbered from 20 to 54 and on 8 June for other taxpayers. French people who declare their income in paper format had until May 22 to send their declaration to the tax authorities.
