The new scale of income tax 2025 has just fallen, and with it some significant changes to the amounts owed by the taxpayer. This year, the revaluation climbs to 2%, a figure slightly higher than the inflation of 1.8% estimated for the end of the year. For French people, this translates into a small tax advantage, which will have consequences on the amount paid by each household.
What are the new 2025 tax brackets?
For your 2025 tax return, relating to the amounts received in 2024, new brackets will determine your tax level, in order to take into account inflation and the general decline in purchasing power. So, for a single person, here is how the scale breaks down:
- 0% up to €11,520
- 11% between €11,520 and €29,373
- 30% between €29,373 and €83,988
- 41% between €83,988 and €180,648
- 45% above €180,648
Concretely, this increase in the scale is intended to absorb the drop in purchasing power linked to inflationas much as the indexation of salaries. If your income increased last year to match the price increase, revaluing the scale will help avoid an increase in your taxes. If this choice of indexation higher than the inflationary rate sounds like a surprising decision, in a fragile economic context where the government is seeking to save 60 billion euros In the years to come, several reasons will justify this decision.
Why this change in tax scales?
The decision to revalue the tax scales is firstly intended to offer temporary respite to the poorest households, who will be able to continue to benefit from the same standard of living, without having to suffer a disproportionate increase in their taxes. The other objective of the operation is also to stimulate national consumption, by encouraging the French to consume more, and by stimulating the general economy. In this new context, almost half of French tax households are expected not to pay taxes in 2025.
Validation of the text to come
Proposed in the finance bill, this new scale will still have to be submitted to Parliament for approval, with possible adjustments to its amendments before its final and definitive adoption. Thus, the precise tax brackets and amounts are still likely to be slightly modified, without however impacting the main lines of the text.
Remember that you don't have only a few days left to correct your declaration income for 2024, relating to income for 2023. To do this, simply go to your personal space and edit a new corrective declaration. If your expenses have decreased since last year, it will also be possible to adjust or cancel the advance tax credits that will be paid to you in January 2025.
