My understanding of tax paid when you sell a house is that improvements you have made are taken into consideration based on artisan's invoices but if you do the work yourself then the materials + twice their total is allowed. Our French neighbour confused me when we were over there as he said now only artisan's bills are taken into account, not work you have done yourself but he was relating this to his taxe d'habitation, fonciere, not to tax due when selling. Any enlightenment please?
