The question: "I am not taxable and therefore do not pay taxes in 2018, but will I have to pay something starting in January 2019? "
The response of service-public.fr: "If you are an employee (or assimilated) tax-free, the administration will send a rate of 0% to your employer and you will not be charged. If you are independent, there will be no change from the current situation: if you are not taxable, you will not have to pay anything to the tax department. "
If you are not taxable on income tax and your tax rate is 0% (based on 2017 income reported in 2018), the implementation of the withholding tax does not change anything for you (in the case where the amount of your income does not increase and remains non-taxable). Your deduction will be 0 € and the amount paid by your employer or your pension fund will therefore be unchanged. If you have income without a collector (for example, you are a self-employed person), the amount of your deductions will be zero and no income tax will be deducted.
