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), confided the DGFiP daily West France who 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 have received a deposit dated November 28, 2022, indicates the DGFiP.
A problem with the exemption cap
These errors, revealed almost a month after the launch of the 2023 reporting campaign, are due poor application by the administration of the increase in the exemption ceiling overtime (wearing 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 due November 28, 2022 would not have been included in the taxable income of the agents concerned. Last year a bigger bug affected a 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 only the agents of the three public services who worked overtime. in 2021.
Launched on April 13, the 2023 tax return campaign ends on May 25 for telefilers 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 June 8 for other taxpayers. The French who declare their income in paper format had until May 22 to send their declaration to the tax authorities.
