Taxes Fonciere - again

[martyng]

I have, like others, just received my (first) bill for tax fonciere - but it was sent to my previous UK address. We have been resident here since mid-July and this is now our principal (and only) residence.

Should I have notified someone or some authority that this is now our home? Another post has mentioned that we do not become 'registered' until we submit a French tax form - and that will not be until next year. What do we do in the interim to 'register' our presence?

I had to go to our local Tresur Public to tell them to send all bills here. They were still sending them to UK 2 years after we had become permanent here.

You need to ensure that the records at the local Hotel des Impots are correct. They originate the bills. The Tresor may be able to get things changed, but their role is to collect what they are instructed to collect by the Hotel des Impots.

In our experience, informing the Trésor Public was a waste of time (they made a note of what I said but bills continued to go to the UK). It wasn't until we informed the Hôtel des Impôts direct that future bills were sent here.
