France Strengthens Digital Tax Services with New Mandate Model
Paris, France – August 8, 2025 – The Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFiP), France’s primary tax authority, today announced the release of a new Mandate Model, a significant step forward in modernizing and simplifying the digital tax process for both taxpayers and tax professionals. Published on the official impots.gouv.fr website at 11:44 AM, this initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of tax-related services through secure digital authorization.
The Mandate Model provides a standardized and clear framework for individuals and businesses to grant authority to a third party – such as an accountant, tax advisor, or legal representative – to act on their behalf for various tax-related matters. This includes filing tax returns, managing tax payments, and interacting with the DGFiP on their behalf.
Historically, the process of authorizing a representative could be cumbersome, often involving paper-based forms and manual processing. The introduction of this digital Mandate Model is designed to streamline this procedure considerably. By offering a unified digital format, the DGFiP is facilitating a more secure, traceable, and efficient method for establishing and managing mandates.
Key benefits expected from the implementation of the Mandate Model include:
- Enhanced Efficiency: The digital nature of the model will significantly reduce administrative burdens, allowing for faster processing of authorizations and quicker access to tax services for authorized representatives.
- Improved Security and Traceability: A standardized digital format enhances the security of personal and financial information by providing a clear audit trail for all authorized actions. This ensures greater accountability and reduces the risk of fraud.
- Greater Accessibility: Taxpayers will have more flexibility in granting and managing mandates, potentially allowing for easier collaboration with their chosen tax professionals, regardless of geographical location.
- Simplification for Businesses and Individuals: The clear structure of the Mandate Model aims to demystify the authorization process, making it more understandable and user-friendly for all stakeholders.
The DGFiP has been actively engaged in digital transformation initiatives to better serve the French population. This Mandate Model aligns with the broader objective of making tax compliance easier and more transparent, fostering a stronger relationship between citizens, businesses, and the public administration.
The public is encouraged to visit the official DGFiP website, impots.gouv.fr, for further details on the Mandate Model, including guidelines for its use and integration into existing tax management practices. This release marks another important milestone in France’s commitment to leveraging digital solutions for a more modern and effective tax system.
