renervation tax allowances?

[maude]

Tried a search, but came up with nothing.I understand that for certain improvements such as insulation ,double glazing etc,new fosse septiques and such, that some things can be offset against French tax.How does this work?I also understand that some form of loan or grant even, can if successfully claimed ,be obtained from A.N.A.H. Has anyone any experiences they would like to share.Would like to install good double glazing as we have a rash of noisy dogs moved in along the road with new neighbours, and everyone local(French) seems to be collecting cockrels,not sure that they know that eggs come from hens,not the coqs.  Many thanks, Maude

If you mean the reduced rate of 5.5% TVA Maud, this thread might be helpful http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/866985/ShowPost.aspx

Or were you thinking of the 40% tax credit on materials for energy efficient improvements try this http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/827053/ShowPost.aspx

Searching on the forum for ANAH will also bring up lots of info, but you could start here http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/656932/ShowPost.aspx

ANAH, I thought that was for doing places up to rent, isn't it?

Not at all. It offers all sorts of grants to owners and tenants.

I looked at getting a grant for solar water heating last year...
