Cotisations Sociales on Rental Income
quatrechats replied to quatrechats's topic in Long Term Letting
It's to do with the fact that the cotisations sociales go towards French retirement pensions and healthcare costs. As UK state pensioners aren't affiliated to the French system and have their costs covered by the UK, it was ruled at the European Court of Justice in April that they should not pay such charges. -
Cotisations Sociales on Rental Income

I read that French residents in receipt of a UK state pension are no longer liable to pay social charges on rental income. Does this not apply to you, Chancer? -

Yes, it is an unfurnished rental and that explains the difference in abattements. Thank you for clearing that up. -
Cotisations Sociales on Rental Income

Well, my head is spinning even more now. Reading the instructions on how to fill in the tax form, after entering the gross income, une déduction forfaitaire de 30% sera ensuite automatiquement appliquée par l'administration which I understand to mean 30% will be taken off the taxable amount, leaving 70% taxable income. Please tell me where I'm going wrong and why would 71% rather than 70% apply to you? Thanks again. -
Please forgive this possibly stupid question but the 15.5% social charges on rental income - are they deducted from the gross income or the 70% of income remaining under the micro-foncier system? Thank you.

Buying studio with Tenant whose rent is paid by the CAF
quatrechats replied to quatrechats's topic in Long Term Letting
That's very helpful. Thank you. -
We've been looking for a studio to rent out to ensure a small income in euros. 4 have come up for sale in one building, owned by the same landlord. 3 are currently rented, one of which has a tenant who's been there 4 years and has his rent paid by the CAF. Can anyone offer advice as to whether this would be a wise purchase? I've been looking into buying property to rent out for a long time so am well aware of the general pitfalls of being a landlord but have no knowledge of rents paid by the CAF. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Do these regulations apply to all chambre d'hotes - even those with just one bedroom?

Sorry, when I wrote my last post, I thought today was Wednesday! [8-)] NCV is on tonight, Tuesday, at 20.42 followed by PEP's at 20.45 (until 20.50) so you can have a double dose! If you're able to watch it live, there are subtitles but these aren't available on replay.

My internet connection is very slow this morning so I've looked in some old newspapers to find the times of the broadcasts: Wednesday, Nos Chers Voisins is broadcast at 20.35 and PEP's (funny about the apostrophe, isn't it?) at 20.45 for 5 minutes. But you can watch replays of NCV here: http://www.tf1.fr/nos-chers-voisins/?xtmc=nos-chers-voisins&xtcr=2 PEP's is about the relationships between parents, pupils and profs at school/college and NCV is about the random encounters of a variety of people living in a block of flats. They're both comedies. I like the idea of being able to replay the episodes so that what may be almost incomprehensible first time round begins to make sense with repetition, just like re-listening to a recorded phone message.

I recently read in the Nouvelle Republique about these two short soaps on TF1. Pep's has not long started and Nos Chers Voisins has been broadcast since last year. What appealed to me was the length of broadcasts - they seem to be between 2 and 15 minutes long and I thought this would be great for improving French. Most people can concentrate for that long. Once you get to know the characters, there's always the desire to know 'what happens next' which encourages you to keep watching. I just watched a little bit of Pep's and it's quite funny. There's a lot of expressive body language to help you follow what's going on. Has anyone watched these or fancy giving them a try?

What a list! I had just found http://www.auto-entrepreneur.fr/forum/topic3399.html so decided I would come under 'professions libérales non-réglementées', 'secrétaires à domicile' being the nearest I could find to transcription work. I'll have a good look at the code list. Thank you.

Thanks. Yes, it's for myself. I'm not registered at all yet. I'm looking into the possibility of working as a transcriber. I would check with the authorities before taking it much further.
