NormanH Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Some municipalités have lost a lot of income from the lack of economic activity such as tourism. In Ouistreham the Maire is proposing an increase of 28% increase in the Taxe Foncière to cover Covid deficit, which has provoked a furious reaction and a petition against the rise.Anyone heard of similar rises in their area?

anotherbanana Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Well, the abolition of the taxe d’habitation puts pressure on other taxes to raise revenues. And many communes have been itching to increase the foncière as soon as they could. If it has to increase it must be slow and by nothing like 28%. Why not 30,40,50,60%? Once the dam bursts it is too easy to keep on adding a few extra percent every year.As to a COVID effect, I am very doubtful as to such a large justification.Anyway, second homes will be really clobbered whatever. So easy to hit them when they are owned by foreigners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 It seems that Covid effect is in part the loss of tax revenue from the Casino, but I imagine that there will be other reasons in other towns where economic activity has been hit hard. This may be the beginning of 'paying the bill' for financial consequences of the Pandemic....https://www.ouest-france.fr/normandie/ouistreham-14150/ouistreham-la-taxe-fonciere-devrait-augmenter-mais-de-combien-150bfbd6-8d4c-11eb-b4f4-a825bc036020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
