Afy Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Actually not my choice to live here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 But I recall the previous postings, you chose to stay here and staying here means paying here as we all have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Very interesting to see where the offical wealth of the country resides. Of course declared income has no real relationship to actual or real income. Most French folks lie through their teeth on 'le Declaration Preremplie'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play along for marital peace... not that there is too much of that at times either. I do pay my taxes... but am I happy about the chunk it takes out of my income? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 "Most French folks lie through their teeth on 'le Declaration Preremplie'"[:)]I think that I remember reading that the impots receipts took a surprising jump last year. Looking at our commune's returns (14608 average overall, but only 20488 for imposibles), it makes one wonder where the money comes from to buy the new cars, including the fair smattering of Passats, 806's, etc. I can draw conclusions, but what does n.d. stand for?I believe that household members can opt to be taxed separately? If so, and if it is common, the figures would be much more difficult to interpret.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
