Do we need to enter the figures on the declaration form and if so where? Many thanks in anticipation.........................J    Report

This amount (75%) is entered on form 2042 K (the main one), page 4, section 7, box UD. For donations to other associations which qualify (if they've sent you a receipt, they probabaly do), you can deduct 66% of the amount donated as long as the 66% do not exceed 20% of your taxable income. This amount (66%) is entered on form 2042 K (the main one), page 4, section 7, box UF. Clair, a Real Virtual French Person    Report

These were not contributions to charities for humans but in fact for the welfare of animals so should it be entered in box UF? ...................J Sorry posted before I saw the second reply. So 66% of the amount shown on the receipt in box UF then. I take it any deducting to be done is done by them and not me?.........J      Report

Permanent cure for insomnia!! Nahhhh, I subscribe to "Le Particulier" and they produce a thick tax guide every year. I left France before I started earning and I had never completed a tax declaration before. The first one was a bit of a challenge, even with the advantage of speaking French! The annual guide has been my point of reference every year. Clair, a Real Virtual French Person    Report
