Taxing

Tomorrow is 'post your tax return' deadline day here. You have longer if you do it online, but if you're a foreigner you have to do a paper return in your first year, so I dutifully walked down to the tax office this morning and dropped in my return (I have no faith whatsoever in La Poste, for reasons I won't bore you with now). I handed in declaration 2042, 2042C (complementaire), 2033 (industrial and commercial profits), 2033-B (a short set of accounts for 2033), an explanatory spreadsheet for 2033-B, 2047 (money earned and deposited abroad), and a list of foreign bank accounts.

Last Friday I sent an enquiry via the government tax website about a couple of things to do with the return. They promised a reply in 48 hours. 72 (business) hours later I got a reply saying they would respond as soon as possible. Still no response today, so now I'll never know whether I should have put the 30 euros interest into box TR or box TS. Hopefully it won't matter too much.. we get the resulting tax demand in September, which you have to pay in three installments, the next February, May and September.
