Bluebells Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Trying to help an older neighbour of mine, he has turned 60 this year and has just got his tax habitation which he thought due to his income RFR being below the threshold limit and being on his own would qualify him for an exonoration this year. My only thought was that maybe as the bills represent the year commencing 1 Jan 2009 then maybe that is the age they count you as for the whole year and next year in their eyes he will be 60 and possibly due an exonoration, any thoughts folks ?

Weegie Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 From the French Government website:http://www.impots.gouv.fr/portal/dgi/public?paf_dm=popup&paf_gm=content&espId=1&typePage=cpr02&paf_gear_id=500018&docOid=documentstandard_2095"Pour être exonéré de la taxe d'habitation relative à votre résidenceprincipale, vous devez, au 1er janvier de l'année, remplir lesconditions suivantes"As he wasn't 60 on 1st January he won't be elligible until next year.

5-element Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 This is not so, Dave&Olive.Over age 60, if you are on low income, as evidenced by your RFR, you may be totally exempted from Tax Hab and TV licence.It is for Taxe Fonciere that you might get a 100€ rebate, if over 65 and on low income.
