The goal of income tax prepayment is to pay 100% of your tax in advance, in order to get a tax bonus (or avoid a penalty, depending on how you look at it).
You can pay gradually in 4 installments of 25%, or make a higher initial prepayment the first quarter.
Prepayments are only optional for the first 3 years of your freelance activity.

By default, the app will suggest a prepayment amount based on the estimated taxable income. This can be done in 2 ways:
automated projection based on encoded revenue/expenses in the app
you can override this by entering your yearly taxable income manually, like shown below
You can decide at any time to revise the amount of prepayment you make (the app gives you and indicative information only).
In the app, when you mark the prepayment item as 'paid', you can simply input the amount that you have paid to the tax office.
If you didn't make any prepayments, you can enter "0€".

Le suivi par mail de votre service est appréciable. J’ai été étonné de devoir communiquer mon no de compte bancaire et surtout de donner un accès consultatif à celui-ci. Mais je vous l’avais déjà évoqué en vous précisant la raison. Bien cordialement François Bellière

C’est hyper clair et le service est impeccable, vous répondez vite. La seule chose que j’ai remarqué qui pourrait être une nouvelle fonctionnalité: avoir la possibilité d’être plus précis au niveau de la détermination de ce qu’on paye pour nos cotisations sociales quand on a choisi un plan d’apurement. Par exemple, 300€ par mois au lieu que le choix soit juste par trimestre.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful…my accountant and tax advisor are good, but never so comprehensive and accurate. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable
