Goodlife Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 With Sarko funding EUR 30k interest free loans for "green" renovations, where can we find the official list of renovations that fall into this "green" category? We have a part of our house currently uninhabitable that we were looking to renovate during 2009, so wondered how much we could profit from this new interest free loan.

Goodlife Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Thanks Clair. So by the sounds of that, we could take an interest free loan to pay for all the work associated with the roof insulation, new windows, heating/plumbing and even a wood burning heater. Other things like floors, inner walls, electrical work, bathroom, etc will not be permitted within the interest free loan. Is this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant for us as we are fiscale en France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG MAC Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Sorry Clair my response was a clumsy tongue in cheek suggestion that an environmental slant could potentially be applied to most building works....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Maybe someone at the impôts will be enlightened enough...?[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG MAC Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I am not sure what an Impot is but if it's officialdom we could always throw down the builders gauntlet of gobledegook!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
