"I dont see how this applies to 2nd home owners unless they are renting their place(s) out?" "Does this really mean all second home owners now have to create an impots account and submit a declaration?" All maison secondaire property owners of any nationality will be required to pay taxe d'habitiation, which has been abolished for resident property owners. It will also be used to track down the Carte de Sejour fraudsters who declared that they were resident to obtain a CDS when living in their maison secondaire, who did this to avoid the 90/180 day rule after brexit. But will there be any attempt to retrospectively claw back taxe d'hab from those who have avoided paying it in the past?

Yes - That's about par for the course - Chronopost are the importing "agent" so they administer the import and charge you for the privilege. And they don't usually allow you to pay online - you pay your postie either cash or cheque. If you want to avoid this try to buy from UK businesses that ship using "delivery duty paid" - DDP for short or the EU "import one stop shop" system - IOSS. With DDP or IOSS you pay the UK supplier delivery, vat and import tax if applicable and it's delivered to you without any further charges - if the deliverer tries to charge you, complain to the supplier to get your money back.

Rather than me recommend something try contacting this little one man company, he can probably recommend something to help you, he knows what he is talking about. https://parabolica.fr/ -
Difficult to answer accurately as you haven't told us how long the car is idle for, the car model and hence the likely capacity of the car battery. The best thing to do would be to unplug it when the car isn't being used. Was there any technical information supplied with the tracking gadget which may indicate how much electrical drain it creates? - look for a figure in ma or Ma ( milliamps) or possibly watts or even milliwatts. I'm a bit puzzled by:- "there is however, another connection along a cable that is more easily attached and unattached" So you have 2 obd ports?

Shopping today in a local Intermarche - all kinds and brands of Milk available no sign of any shortage at all. They've even got 4 or five brands of Lait Ribot. Maybe it's just a local thing in your area?

Wouldn't know, we use UHT lait demi - ecreme in cartons, no shortage of that. We also make a point of buying the fair-trade product where the producer gets a fair price. https://fairefrance.fr/

No more throw away fast food packaging (in theory)

I can't say that I'm enthusiastic about eating from reusable plastic utensils that have been eaten off, sneezed on, mauled about by sweaty hands and then put through a dishwasher. Was it hot enough? Did somebody remember to add the detergent? etc etc. Plastic will get scratched, how many journeys will these reuseables be doing? The big plus point with Mac D's was that it was CLEAN. Not that we are in the habit of eating/drinking at maccy doos, the last time was probably 5 years ago for a coffee and a sticky bun. -
Missed tax filing in France for holiday rental income
Harnser replied to Circle84's topic in French Finance
Replying to my own post here as I was too late for a second edit. If you give the Taxcalc people a call I'm pretty sure they will be able to advise you over late filing as they have some tax experts as well as the website/computer side. -
Missed tax filing in France for holiday rental income
Harnser replied to Circle84's topic in French Finance
Presumably you mean filing UK tax for the tax year 6th April 2020 - 5th April 2021 ? If you normally file electronically the deadline is 31st January 2023 , if paper forms it was 31st October 2022. I have no idea about late filing penalties but I have used Taxcalc for years when I was self- employed in the UK From www. taxcalc.com - cost per year for up to four individual returns is £32 -
Back on here with a new W 11 laptop after the old one refused to acknowledge the existence of the internet. So happy new year to all !

>Do the French research labs know the sequence of the current virus circulating in China? >Should we trust them if they told us? >Is it a new variant? > If a new variant - Is it liable to be more or less contagious than the current one in France? >Until these questions are answered no entry to persons travelling to France from China would seem to be sensible. You can't make proper decisions without proper data.

Lehaut and DaveLister, Neither of you have presented any evidence that refutes Dr Patrick Michael's opinion that the climate models are not an accurate projection of future global temperature.

Any evidence for that?

You may not like the messenger but the guy who was interviewed is telling the truth. But can you handle the truth?

Unfortunately Ken, it is not a case that "No one likes to admit they have got it wrong". It's definitely a case of "No one likes to admit they were telling lies all along" Dr. Patrick Michaels, former Virginia State Climatologist has some strong comments about climate models during an interview with Mark Levin: “It is nowhere near as warm as it’s ‘supposed’ to be,” says climatologist Dr. Patrick Michaels. “The computer models are making systematic, dramatic errors.” There are 32 different computer models used to predict the climate, all of them run by government entities. And all of those models, except for the Russian model, are predicting far, far too much warming. The Russian model pretty much matches reality. ( I have read that about the russian climate model being close to reality from another accredited source) Because they are “parameterized” (fudged), says Michaels. “We put in code steps that give us what we think it ‘should’ be.” The models were ‘tuned.’ “We forced the computer models to say, aha! human influence, CO2 and other stuff." The models “tell us what we wanted to see,” says Michaels. The models have been tuned “to give an anticipated, acceptable range of results.” Phony models? In order to clarify what he is hearing, interviewer Mark Levin paraphrases Michaels: “so you’re telling us that we have a massive bit of public policy that has an enormous effect on society that is built on phony models.” Michaels nods his head ‘yes.” “It’s built on a house of cards,” says Michaels. Watch the interview

We have a selection of mowers, due to our strange assortment of grassy bits. A small hand start 6.5 hp ride on now in it's 13th year, cost €600 in the crate, build it up yourself etc. It's on its second spark plug and third blade + numerous repairs to the grass box, adjustments, punctures etc etc. A Honda side discharge mower - no grassbox - only used in emergencies (madame likes the grass to be collected!) Titan 6.5 hp 22 inch walk behind mower - my exercise bike ! And then there is Mowcron our robot mower. So named because if in doubt or in need of advice he heads off in the direction of Berlin - just like hIs namesake when Mutti Merkel was chancellor !! Joking aside, if you can use a robot mower get one, they save no end of work. The secret is to install the perimeter wire exactly as the instructions say. You can avoid obstructions, tree stumps, flower beds etc by routing the wire around them, again, do exactly what the instructions say. If you could design your garden from scratch and have paved edges level with a nice flat lawn then install the perimeter cable so that the robot mows over the edges on to the paving, you could have a next to zero maintenance lawn. They do need their little blades replacing periodically, cleaning underneath, etc. Ours is about 5 years old and has had two replacement batteries in that time. Ours is a Flymo 1200 r now superceded by a later model with more bells and whistles than ours - bluetooth - hose washable (good idea ours can't be washed) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flymo-EasiLife-Robotic-Lawn-Mower/dp/B08W8QH752/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3VY989ABA6USG&keywords=flymo+1200+r+robot+mower&qid=1670977186&sprefix=flymo+1200+r+robot+mower%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-2

I just looked at my French credit-card style DL and it's valid until 20-04-33 - 15 years after it was issued in 2018.

Snow extent in the Northern Hemisphere at the end of November represents an important parameter for the early winter forecast. This year snow extent is running much higher than average and according to existing global estimates, it is now beyond the highest ever observed so far. Winter forecast, especially in its early phase and in Europe, might be strongly influenced by such a large snow extent, although many other factors need attention. https://www.severe-weather.eu/global-weather/snow-extent-northern-hemisphere-highest-56-years-winter-cold-rrc/ Could be a cold winter here - which we don't need, bearing in mind the electrical power situation.

Here's a little quiz. Do you know where these alarming statements come from? "All coal, gas, and oil-fuel supply from extraction through the supply chain to retail must close within 30 years" "We already have targets for phasing out non electric vehicles, but by 2050 will have only 60% of the electricity required to power a fleet equivalent to that in use today. Therefore we will either use 60% fewer cars or they will be 60% the size" "There are no options for zero-emissions flight in the time available for action, so the industry faces a rapid contraction. Developments in electric flight may be relevant beyond 2050" "All existing forms of cement production are incompatible with zero emissions. However, there are some opportunities for expanded use of clay an urgent need to develop alternative processes and materials. Using microwaves processes to recycle used cement appears promising"
