Repair an oversight, add a bonus that you did not think taxable but who is finally? We tend to forget about it, but it is possible to correct your tax return, even after the deadline for sending it to the tax authorities. As of Wednesday opens the service of correction on line for the declaration of the revenues of 2018, made last May. If you are concerned, you have until December 19th to make your correction.
No penalty in case of good faith
For that, nothing more simple: it is enough to go on the site of the administration, to enter in its particular space then, in the fixed box, to make the correction and to validate. For this inaccuracy or omission, you will not pay a penalty: it is the application of the right to the error. You will have to pay, of course, any additional tax. With, where appropriate, default interest, but no fine or increase.
So beware: the right to the error only works in case of good faith. It does not apply when the return has been sent out of time, or when the errors have been made deliberately. Last year, the tax administration registered 300,000 corrections online. Not much, compared to 28 million statements made over the internet. But the important thing is to know that it exists.
