The tax office has around Monday, January 17 in advance on credits and tax reductions to 8.7 million tax households. Average amount of this boost at the start of the year: 605 euros.
Logically, this is no longer a surprise. Since 2019, the General Directorate of Public Finance (DGFiP) has been paying an advance (or installment) on your usual credits and tax reductions in mid-January. On average, the transfer is high 605 euros for the almost 9million beneficiaries. If you are one of them, the DGFiP notified you by email during the week, the first emails having been sent last weekend. The message from the tax authorities invites you to log on to impots.gouv.fr to find out the amount of the advance that must be paid to you on Monday 17 January.
Taxes: how much will you receive on Monday January 17?
A bank transfer for nearly 9 million households
For the vast majority of the 8.7 million beneficiaries, since the DGFiP has most of the bank details with the deduction at source, this boost in mid-January takes the form of a bank transfer.
In order to avoid any confusion, the Minister of Public Accounts announces the denomination of the transfer: CREDITIMPOT ADVANCE, and the payment is made directly by the General Directorate of Public Finances (this is the mention DGFiP Public Finances which appears in some banks).

A check letter for 235,000 taxpayers
The DGFiP, on the other hand, has no knowledge of the bank details of 235,000 tax households: they will receive this advance in the form of a check letter which they will receive by post by the end of January.
A 60% advance on your recurring benefits
The advance paid in mid-January corresponds, as detailed by Bercy in its press release 60% of the total amount of tax reductions and credits concerned, declared in the spring of 2021 for expenses incurred in 2020 (this total amount appears on the last income tax notice, received in the summer of 2021). More specifically, the advance concerns reductions in rental property investment, dependency, for donations to charities, and tax credits for childcare, home employment and union dues.
