Tax Bundles

This guide explains how to collect and analyze a company’s tax bundles from multiple sources and formats.

Goal

Collect detailed tax bundles:

• From public sources (INPI via company_legal_fr)
• From Infogreffe for confidential tax bundles
• From the impots.gouv professional space (private data)
• Via OCR performed on uploaded PDF documents

Data sources

Tax bundle pipelines

Mix public filings, secure OAuth flows, and OCR uploads for maximum coverage.

INPI (Public)

Provider: `company_legal_fr`

• Automatic sync
• Published bundles (≈6-month lag)
• No OAuth needed
• Free access

Infogreffe

Provider: `infogreffe`

• Confidential tax bundles
• Requires Infogreffe account
• Automatic sync
• Last 2 tax returns by default

Impots.gouv

Provider: `impots_gouv`

• OAuth redirect (pro space)
• Real-time tax data + VAT
• Corporate tax & tax account
• User-level consent required

OCR Service

Provider: `ocr_service`

• Manual PDF uploads
• Automatic data extraction
• Works with scans or exports
• Quality depends on document

Source	Provider	Advantages	Drawbacks
INPI	company_legal_fr	Automatic, free	Publication delay (~6 months)
Infogreffe	infogreffe	Confidential tax bundles	Requires Infogreffe account
Impots.gouv	impots_gouv	Real-time data, VAT	Requires user OAuth
OCR	ocr_service	Any PDF document	Quality depends on the scan

Structure of a tax bundle

Bundle types

Code	Type	Description
C	Full	Standard regime - 2050 to 2059 bundle
S	Simplified	Simplified regime - 2033 bundle
K	Consolidated	Consolidated accounts

Main forms (Standard Regime)

Form	Content
2050-SD	Balance sheet - Assets
2051-SD	Balance sheet - Liabilities
2052-SD	Income statement (I)
2053-SD	Income statement (II)
2054-SD	Fixed assets
2055-SD	Depreciation
2056-SD	Provisions
2057-SD	Receivables and payables

Main forms (Simplified Regime)

Form	Content
2033-A-SD	Simplified balance sheet
2033-B-SD	Simplified income statement
2033-C-SD	Fixed assets

Implementation

Option 1: INPI public data

Configuration

PUT /api/v6/providers/company_legal_fr

{
  "enable": true
}

PUT /api/v6/providers/company_legal_fr/settings

{
  "auto_connect": true
}

Create the user and launch the sync

POST /api/v6/users/legal

{
  "name": "Entreprise SAS",
  "siren": "123456789"
}

POST /api/v6/users/{userId}/data-connections

{
  "requested_data_types": ["TAX_RETURN", "TAX_RETURN_ANALYSIS"],
  "provider_name": "company_legal_fr"
}

POST /api/v6/users/{userId}/sync

{
  "data_types": ["TAX_RETURN", "TAX_RETURN_ANALYSIS"]
}

Option 2: Infogreffe confidential data

Infogreffe gives access to confidential tax bundles that are not available via INPI.

Configuration

PUT /api/v6/providers/infogreffe/credentials

{
  "credentials": {
    "client_id": "INFOGREFFE_CLIENT_ID",
    "password": "INFOGREFFE_PASSWORD"
  }
}

PUT /api/v6/providers/infogreffe/settings

{
  "auto_connect": true,
  "confidential_only": true
}

PUT /api/v6/providers/infogreffe

{
  "enable": true
}

Create the connection and sync

POST /api/v6/users/{userId}/data-connections

{
  "requested_data_types": ["TAX_RETURN", "TAX_RETURN_ANALYSIS"],
  "provider_name": "infogreffe"
}

POST /api/v6/users/{userId}/sync

{
  "data_types": ["TAX_RETURN", "TAX_RETURN_ANALYSIS"]
}

info

By default, Infogreffe returns the last 2 available tax bundles regardless of the year. You can adjust this through the month history setting.

Option 3: Impots.gouv private data

Configuration

PUT /api/v6/providers/impots_gouv

{
  "enable": true
}

Create the connection

POST /api/v6/users/{userId}/data-connections

{
  "requested_data_types": [
    "TAX_RETURN",
    "VAT_DECLARATION",
    "CORPORATE_TAX",
    "TAX_ACCOUNT"
  ],
  "provider_name": "impots_gouv"
}

Authentication flow

1. Retrieve the user redirect_url
2. Redirect the user to that link
3. The user signs in on impots.gouv.fr
4. They grant access to their data
5. They are redirected back to your return_url
6. You can now trigger the synchronization

POST /api/v6/users/{userId}/sync

{
  "data_types": ["TAX_RETURN", "VAT_DECLARATION"]
}

Option 4: OCR applied to PDF documents

Configuration

PUT /api/v6/providers/ocr_service

{
  "enable": true
}

Upload and processing

The OCR service extracts tax bundle data from scanned or exported PDFs. See the OCR Service provider documentation for implementation details.

Retrieve the data

Check which tax bundles exist

Before triggering a synchronization (or to explain why a fiscal year is missing), list every tax bundle known for the company, all sources confounded. This works for any legal user, without any data connection: INPI (filed documents and the figures INPI entered) and BODACC (the filing notices) are read from public data, Infogreffe from Qard's own account. Infogreffe lists the confidential filings that INPI never publishes, so this is the way to know they exist before purchasing them through the infogreffe provider; BODACC reveals deposits INPI holds nothing about (confidential filings of small companies, the most recent exercises). Tax bundles already fetched from a private source (impots.gouv, OCR, user input) are listed under their provider's name.

GET/api/v6/users/{userId}/tax-returns/available

Registries are a stored snapshot, refreshed at most once a week per source; add ?refresh=true to force it. exercises is the short answer — one entry per fiscal year, newest first, with what exists for it.

}

already_fetched is true when a tax bundle with the same closing date already exists for the user. revenue (chiffre d'affaires net, euros) is filled as soon as a source knows the figures — INPI entered accounts, the key figures Infogreffe publishes for its public filings, or a tax bundle already fetched for that closing date — and stays null for a confidential filing or a BODACC notice: it tells you whether a fetch is worth it before you pay for one.

Tax bundle analysis

Extract key indicators

function extractKeyIndicators(taxReturn) {
  const values = taxReturn.tax_return_values.reduce((acc, v) => {
    acc[v.code] = v.values[0];
    return acc;
  }, {});

  return {
    // Activity
    revenue: values['FL'] || 0,
    revenueGrowth: null, // À calculer avec N-1

    // Profitability
    operatingResult: values['GG'] || 0,
    netProfit: values['HN'] || 0,
    profitMargin: (values['HN'] || 0) / (values['FL'] || 1),

    // Balance sheet structure
    equity: values['DL'] || 0,
    totalAssets: values['EE'] || 0,
    totalDebt: values['EC'] || 0,

    // Ratios
    debtToEquityRatio: (values['EC'] || 0) / (values['DL'] || 1),
    returnOnEquity: (values['HN'] || 0) / (values['DL'] || 1),
    returnOnAssets: (values['HN'] || 0) / (values['EE'] || 1)
  };
}

Compute multi-year trends

function calculateTrends(taxReturns) {
  // Sort by descending closing year
  const sorted = taxReturns.sort((a, b) => b.closing_year - a.closing_year);

  if (sorted.length < 2) return null;

  const current = extractKeyIndicators(sorted[0]);
  const previous = extractKeyIndicators(sorted[1]);

  return {
    revenueGrowth: (current.revenue - previous.revenue) / previous.revenue,
    profitGrowth: (current.netProfit - previous.netProfit) / Math.abs(previous.netProfit || 1),
    marginEvolution: current.profitMargin - previous.profitMargin,
    years: {
      current: sorted[0].closing_year,
      previous: sorted[1].closing_year
    }
  };
}

Combined use cases

Fetch the freshest data

async function getLatestTaxReturn(userId) {

  // Retrieve every tax bundle
  const taxReturns = await qardApi.getTaxReturns(userId);

  // Sort by closing date and take the newest
  return taxReturns.sort((a, b) =>
    new Date(b.closing_date) - new Date(a.closing_date)
  )[0];

Fill missing data

async function enrichTaxData(userId, closingYear) {
  // Public data (INPI)
  const publicData = await qardApi.getTaxReturns(userId, {

  // Confidential data (Infogreffe)
  const infogreffeData = await qardApi.getTaxReturns(userId, {
    filter: { closing_year: closingYear, provider_name: 'infogreffe' }
  });

  // Private data (Impots.gouv, if available)
  const privateData = await qardApi.getTaxReturns(userId, {
    filter: { closing_year: closingYear, provider_name: 'impots_gouv' }

  // Merge while prioritizing private data (most complete)
  return {
