Hi

I own an apartment in France but unfortunately we are moving back to Ireland next month. Will I still have to pay tax d'habitation in France?

What do I need to do before I leave?

I heard I need to cut off the water and gas.

Have a invoice from a removals company?

How does it work if I do the removal myself?

Any advice is apreciated

Hi,   

     If the property is habitable (ie weatherproof and with services available) then you have to pay taxe d'habitation

My understanding was that if the property does not contain enough furniture to be habitable, then you are exempt from TdH:

BUT you may be subject to either:

The Taxe d'habitation sur les logements vacants (THLV)

http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/F17293.xhtml

OR:

The Taxe sur les logements vacants (TLV)

http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/F2847.xhtml

depending on where it is located (list of TLV-affected communes at http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000000575116&dateTexte=)
