Last year, nearly 557,000 Lorraine tax households paid income tax. This figure represents a 2.6% increase compared to the 2023 tax return. In total, €1.78 billion in net income tax was collected from Lorraine households. But which municipalities pay the most of this tax? Here's a look at the situation in Lorraine using data from the Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFIP).

Nationally, the tax amounted to an average of €4,649 per household taxed, compared to € 3,195 in Lorraine, based on the 2024 declaration. This amount varies widely from one department to another:

• Meurthe-et-Moselle: €3,476
• Moselle: €3,224
• Vosges: €2,799
• Meuse: €2,703

In Lorraine, some municipalities stand out when it comes to income tax. Jussy (Moselle) tops the list. In this municipality in the Metz metropolitan area, the average tax is over €18,900 per household . It is followed by Dommartemont (Nancy metropolitan area) with €15,300 and Frain near Vittel (€11,800).

Across the major cities of Lorraine, this tax varies from €5,400 in Nancy, €3,900 in Epinal, €3,700 in Metz and €3,300 in Verdun.

In other municipalities in the region, on the other hand, the average tax is negative. This is an amount paid by the State to people who earn less than a certain amount. In Lorraine, four municipalities are in this situation: Bislée (Meuse) , Reillon (Meurthe-et-Moselle), Tarquimpol (Moselle) and Fey-en-Haye (Meurthe-et-Moselle).

In 2023, the richest 10% of tax households paid an average of €15,298 in income tax. This represents 15.2% of their reference taxable income and 14.1% of their declared income . They alone contribute nearly three-quarters of total income tax revenue . Conversely, the poorest 10% of tax households, often exempt from tax, receive an average of €33.
