Thanks Nomoss, i will revisit the website. Regards.

Hello Geordie, That's sort of what I thought, but an article in a well known newspaper alerted me to the fact that not paying taxe d'hab. doesn't absolve everyone from paying TV licence. As we declare enough to pay impôts sur le revenu I need to look into it: I've opened the box! Regards, Hester.

That's kind of you ?

Thanks. Off to tax office then. Mea culpa on my part I daresay, naive of me not to look into it sooner. Regards.

Thanks for your replies. I've looked through everything and at online tax account. Can only think that somehow the tax dept. has missed billing us. Could you confirm that it's still the case when completing annual tax declaration it's assumed one has a TV unless the box on front page is ticked to declare otherwise. Regards Marie.

Hello, We haven't had a Taxe d'habitation bill for a few years, receiving a letter stating that we benefit from the government's gradual elimination of this tax. OK, lovely, only now read something which made me realise should perhaps have still been paying TV licence. Not received a facture for this, nor ticked any box to say we dont have a TV. We pay tax each month on our revenue. Looked at govt. websites and it would seem that even if exempt from taxd'hab, still have to pay licence if this is because of govts. 'phasing out. Anyone have a similar experience., is there an online form to pay? Thanks. ;

Hello, just received similar email with an attachment that I didn't open. So pleased that I could refer back to this thread. Thanks.

Hello, We have used a similar set up in the past for one of our dogs. Dogs looked after and kept in the home and garden. Always needed to check vaccination certificates etc They are always very busy with clients from Britain, France etc. They also do a pick up service if necessary. This is in the Limousin. You will already have experience and be familiar with the admin. I recall that they couldn't have more than 9 dogs without needing "paperwork" of some description. I would have thought that it should do well once established. Regards. PS my dog sitters have now expanded as were so busy, they have some Kennels also now.

Just as an aside, if you use Facebook, there's a group " la creuse community" where folks seem to get plenty of advice, and the rest...lol I'm just a lurker every now and then.

Hello, My OH has to have a test prior to a medical procedure. Two labs that we know of in 23:: Laboratoire Gueret Biolyss and Astralab in Aubusson. He is using Aubusson as we have bloods done there. I phoned for appt but had to make it online, there was plenty of availability. Wanted to know reason for test, was he vaccinated. I had computer problem so phoned them again and they did it for me. We are in the health system and they wanted his carte vitale number, so not sure how this works otherwise - As a private client maybe. Regards.

Thanks for your replies that helps. I've sent them a message, because although it is apparently a blanket email they shouldn't be saying "nos services n’ont toujours pas reçu votre déclaration". No doubt I'll receive an automated response! Update: reply received came from my local tax office. "Bonjour, Vous avez reçu un mail général d'information auquel vous n'avez aucune réponse à apporter. Cordialement." Jean-Pierre ..............

Hello, I've had e-mails reminding me to complete my tax return which initially spooked me as already done, but one today a bit more ominous and ambiguous as states that they haven't received it yet. Then goes on to say yet again, but if you've already done it bla di bla. Yes, I received a confirmation email when it was done, but start to doubt what's happening. Has anyone else had the same? Thanks "La période de déclaration des revenus de l’année 2020 touche à sa fin mais nos services n’ont toujours pas reçu votre déclaration (more blurb contact nos etc) Si vous avez déclaré vos revenus en ligne dans les derniers jours, ou si vous avez déjà déposé une déclaration sur support papier, veuillez ne pas tenir compte de ce courriel. "Nous vous remercions de votre attention. La Direction générale des Finances publiques"

Sueyh, Pomme gave me some clear instructions how to look at previous forms in the reply to my posting "Form 2042 - Divers" (11th May) Regards

Like many of you I've checked Banque de France for years so going to keep going, but I only have one end of month pension to check. Average came out at 0.8893/1.1244.

That's useful; found them, thanks.
