First Tax Declaration - Form 3916 Queries


Tazio77 30/04/2008, 14:24

The Tax FAQ has been a real help, along with all the time and effort people have put into asking/answering other Tax queries.

My problem is with the Form 3916, I've down loaded it and put it through Google's translate, but still don't really understand it.

My questions are?:-

1.  Do I need a separate 3916 for each and every bank account and savings bond held?

2. Where on the form do I actually put the details of the account numbers held?

 

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Alan

You don't have to fill out these forms.  If you prefer you can just send in a list of your bank accounts.  Much simpler.

I am also struggling with 3916 and as Tazio I tried it through a translator but it did not make much sense.

Followed Clair's link but that did not help.

What would be good would be a step by step guide .If some kind person knows of one ?

It seems that the 3916 is not used much now and many of us have never done one or been asked to complete one.  We were not asked to do one when we declared first time at our Tax office although declaring interest on savings.

Officially you should do them but what is more important is that you truthfully declare all the interest received.  You can do as Dr O suggests if you want, but as far as I can make out, and its not the easiest form to complete is it? -  (what does Qualité mean in Box 1?)  -  it looks like all you have to do as an individual is fill in your name and address at the top and the name and address of the Bank/Building Society and your account number at the bottom. If the account is in the name of someone else on your tax return you fill in 2.1 and do one form for each account.


Why not post a sensible answer, people will appreciate it more

Particulier or association?

As they can fine you 750euros for not filling in one , I would say it is best to do one.

Thanks everyone, the murk is clearing a little...lol.

After looking through the 2042 and 2047 forms I do have a couple more questions.

Form 2042

Lieu de naissance -  Under Dept Number, should this be '99'?

Adresse -  What does etage, esc. bat. and  nbre of pieces mean?

Form 2047

I'm confused with building society interest, the FAQ's says 'Put the gross figure in Column 5 under Royaume Uni', I can find a column number 5 but where does the Royaume Uni come in?

Finally, I arrived here mid August 2007, and received some final dribs and drabs of part time pay (UK tax paid), should this be included?

I feel a real duffer....but thanks for your patience.

On a blank piece of paper write the name and address of the bank / building society etc, then the name / names of account holders and account numbers.

If you read your form 2042 it states "joignez la declaration no 3916 ou la liste des comptes sur papier libre"
