In theory, that does not change much: the costs remain zero since transactions in euros and in SEPA zone have the same characteristics as a local transfer (in application of European regulations).

Revolut account: foreign or local ? Declaration and guide explained

Is you a revolut account is a foreign account ? If so, should we declare it ? But above all, how to do ? Explanation.

Before going further, you should know that unlike the majority of banks, the Wise payment solution applies the real exchange rate of the market to money transfers with a currency change (week and weekend).

I have to declare my foreign account ? ¹

Declaration obligation

Not only should you declare your Revolut account, but you must declare all of your accounts detained abroad. Some precisions :

  • All foreign accounts, even backed by a French account, must be declared
  • The accounts on which you have proxy are affected by this obligation
  • Only accounts whose total amount of purchases and receipts are greater than 10,000 euros are affected
  • This declaration includes the open, detained, used and/or closed bank accounts during the taxation year (example: year 2022 for a declaration in 2023)

No declaration obligation

You do not need to declare your foreign bank account if the cumulative conditions below are met.

  • Your foreign bank account is backed by an account opened in France
  • This account allows you to pay purchases or receive money for the sale of goods
  • The total amount of transactions is less than 10.000 euros per year

Conclusion : if you have a revolut account (or another account like Paypal) in 2022 on which you conceded less than 10.000 euros per year, you are not subject to any obligation to declare in 2023.

Revolut: French or foreign account ?

You do not have a declaration obligation if your revolut account is French.

This has been possible since May 18, 2022, when Revolut joined French Ibans.

To obtain it, just have the Lithuanian account migrate – previously offered to Europeans – to the French account.

The reporting obligations below are valid if the amount of your purchases / receipts is greater than 10.000 euros (reminder).

-If you created an account prior to May 2022, it was necessarily foreign. You must therefore declare it in 2023 because during the months of January, February and March 2022, the account was foreign.

– Ditto if you have kept the Lithuanian account without doing the migration after May 2022: you must also declare the account.

– Finally, if you have still not migrated in 2023, you will have to declare your account in the same way in 2024.

Attention : you have no obligation to migrate. This is only an option offered by Revolut. On the other hand, you have the obligation to declare as soon as your account is foreign and meet the aforementioned conditions.

For international transactions, Wise (week of which weekends) like Revolut (weekly weekly) apply the actual rate of the market.

The difference resides in account management fees: monthly contribution for revolut (ten euros) / only time 50 euros for a multi -currency account Wise and free for a multi -currency account and / or dedicated to your activity professional.

How to declare my revolut account to the taxman ?

The declaration of accounts held abroad must be made during the declaration on income. It is a question of making the declarations by completing the annexes 3916 and 3916 bis.

Note that declarations 3916 and 3916 bis are likely to be pre-cocheted by the tax administration. You must select and supplement the required information if it would miss.

Note: the declaration of your income can be made online.

When to declare your Revolut account ?

Insofar as the declaration of foreign bank accounts must be made at the same time as the Declaration on income (IR) in France, the time of your account declaration depends on the tax calendar.

Example for the year 2023.²

You can make your declaration from April 13, 2023 until:

  • May 25, 2023 (departments 1 to 19 and non-residents)
  • June 1, 2023 (departments 20 to 54)
  • June 8, 2023 (Department 55 to 974/976)

FAQ: Revolut account declaration

Where my revolut account is domiciled ?

The domiciliation of your Revolut account is indicated on your IBAN. Until May 2022, the IBAN address was located in Lithuania.

Since May 2022, holders of a revolut account have the possibility of migrating their Lithuanian account to a French account.

The difference: your Iban becomes French.

What an impact of the migration of a French Iban to a Lithuanian Iban ?

In theory, that does not change much: the costs remain zero since transactions in euros and in SEPA zone have the same characteristics as a local transfer (in application of European regulations).

  • France transfer to Lithuania
  • Lithuania transfer to France
  • FRANCE FRANCE TO FRANCE

The above transactions being denominated in euros and located in the SEPA zone, they are required to be free of charge !

In other words: no difference.

In practice, French Iban sometimes tends to reassure customers.

But most companies now know that transactions for Ibans located in the SEPA zone are free of charge / without risk.

With Wise Le Iban is Belgian: the obligation to declare therefore meets the same requirements.

How to find my tax number ?³

The tax number is at the top left of the following documents:

  • PRE-REMPLY REVICE DECLARATION
  • Tax notice

Another method: on your particular access page, you must go on “where to find my tax number” before clicking on the link “Receive your tax number by email”.

  • Enter your email
  • Specify your date of birth
  • Copy the characters of the image
  • Enter the code received by message

Your tax number is then sent by email.

If you are having a problem, you can contact your public finance center by phone.

What bank account must be declared to taxes ?

Any bank account opened abroad (whose Iban is not French) must be declared to taxes.

Even for a foreign account backed by a French account, it is an obligation.

Such an obligation is only valid for accounts whose amount of payments and receipts is greater than 10.000 euros per year.

What an alternative to Revolut ?

Like Revolut, Wise applies the real rate of the money transfer market for people with a multi -currency account. Here are the differences:

  • The actual rate applies the week and the weekend for the Wise solution
  • The payment solution does not apply a monthly contribution
  • Professionals must pay 50 euros a single time
  • Individuals and holders of a multi -currency account dedicated to professional activity had nothing to pay (free opening)

In addition, Wise undertakes to offer rates as transparent as possible. Its objective: to remain up to 7 times cheaper than a classic bank while guaranteeing transactions safety !

�� You can get up to 10 account numbers in currency with Wise.
