Teamedup Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I believe that it is more if it is a maison secondaire. And who so ever owns the house on the 1stof Jan gets the bill for this, so if you bought after the 1st of Jan 2003 then you wouldn't be liable for last years bill.

Boiling a frog Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 The simple anwer is yes you pay tax fonciere and yes you pay tax d,habitation no deductions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Yes you do pay foncières whether you are there or not all the time and holiday homes do attract a higher d'habitation charge as it is deemed a luxury. Another thing, rubbish collection charges are non-negotiable either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piprob Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 If you go to your local Tressor Public office, you can pick up a leaflet that explains how the rules about fonciere payment reductions and special dispensations can be applied. We picked one up last week. However, whilst local flexibility is permitted, it is up to each local authority to decide whether to make it available.

Boiling a frog Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Unfortunately any reductions are only for1)French tax payer2)Principal houseThe original poster obviously does not qualify as theirs is a holiday house and they are not French tax payers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 We voted the other week to increase holiday home foncières and d'habitation higher than main residences and we've all agreed that commune building land will not be sold for the construction of holiday homes, only for people coming to live in the area permanently so we can maintain the school and local businesses.
