The annual tax certificate is the key document that lets you declare your home cleaning expenses and activate your 50% tax credit. Without this supporting document, the tax administration cannot process your benefit - and you miss out on a potential saving of several hundred euros. As a NOVA-approved Services à la Personne provider in Bayonne, ÔME HOUSEKEEPING automatically issues your tax certificate every year before March 31. Here is how to obtain it, read it, and use it in your 2026 tax return - online or on paper.
What is the tax certificate and what is it for?
The Services à la Personne tax certificate is the official document provided each year by your home cleaning provider. It summarizes the total amount of expenses incurred during the past calendar year, and is the essential supporting document needed to activate your 50% tax credit. It must include: the provider's name and NOVA approval number; the client's name and address; the total annual amount of expenses; the nature of the services. Without this document, it is impossible to prove your expenses in the event of a tax audit. It must be provided before March 31 of the year following the expense.
No tax certificate, no tax credit. ÔME HOUSEKEEPING automatically sends it to you before March 31 - you don't need to request anything.
How to Declare It: Step-by-Step Guide
With your certificate in hand, filing is simple: log in to impots.gouv.fr, go to your income tax return, enter in box 7DB the total annual amount spent with ÔME HOUSEKEEPING, and keep the certificate without sending it (only needed in case of an audit). The 50% tax credit is calculated automatically. If you use the URSSAF Immediate Advance Payment, everything is handled automatically by URSSAF - you receive a summary certificate directly from them, with no extra steps required.
ÔME HOUSEKEEPING: Your certificate available every year before March 31
ÔME HOUSEKEEPING automatically generates and sends the tax certificate to all its active clients before March 31 of each year - without you needing to request it. Each service is invoiced compliantly (visible NOVA number, service type mentioned, VAT-inclusive amount) to guarantee the certificate's admissibility in case of a tax audit. Keep your invoices and certificate for 3 years - the legal retention period for tax supporting documents.
Conclusion
The tax certificate is the cornerstone of your tax benefit: without it, the tax credit doesn't exist. With ÔME HOUSEKEEPING, this document is issued to you automatically and within the legal deadlines. Your only task: report it on your income tax return. Simple, fast, and up to €1,500 recovered each year for the most active households.
Tip
Keep all your ÔME HOUSEKEEPING invoices for 3 years - this is the legal retention period in case of a tax audit. The annual certificate issued in January is enough for filing, but detailed invoices are your safety net.
