In France, marriage has several financial implications related to taxation. While there are no specific tax breaks for married couples, they can file joint income tax declarations, which generally favors families. The income tax system uses the 'quotient familial' mechanism, allowing for a calculation based on household size. A couple generally counts as 'two parts', and children contribute to the total parts count, which can lower the family's tax burden. Hence, marital status can lead to significant tax advantages for families with children.
When it comes to the annual income tax declaration, married and pacsé couples make a joint declaration, which means they are taxed based on their joint income.
Income tax for households is calculated based on a mechanism called the quotient familial, which determines tax payable based on the number of 'parts' in the tax household.
