French dites-le-nous une fois

There are different programs where France wants to implement the once-only principle.

Planned in Paris, Lyon and Marseille for 2018, there will be an easier way to apply for the parking vignette. You can soon apply for it online without handing in any documents concerning your domicile, your income or your car registration. This information will be exchanged between the administrative bodies of the cities. This simplification could lead to faster processes. It could be easily applied to the 800 communes using parking vignettes.

Another program is the electronic tax filling system. The contact with French government organizations or municipalities gives a lot of burden for French citizens as they have to fill out the same forms and hand in the same documents to the tax authorities over and over again. As part of the program “Dites-le-nous une fois” citizens don´t have to hand in again certain documents at the tax authorities or any other authority again. The concerned informations are the family situation, the number of dependents, the reference tax income and the number of shares in the household.
