10. French Income Tax
If the deceased was a French tax payer or permanently resident in France, the local income tax office should be informed of the death, and within six months of the death the income tax return (Declaration des Revenus) must be submitted.
The income tax declaration will show all income received by each member of the household between 1st January and the date of death.
