Chrissie Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 When filling out box WH on form 2042 (for cost of new condensing boiler or similar), I know you can only claim for the cost of the material and not the installation. But is it the total material cost, TTC, or is it the 25% relief (presumably 25% of cost TTC) that you put in the box?(I thought someone posted about this recently, but couldn't find it when searching.)Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 If no-one replies who has experience of this then I would suggest you give your tax office a ring or send them an email, so you know for sure. On the front page, near the top RH corner, of our 2042 there is the tel no and email address for our local office; I emailed our office with a query yesterday and received a comprehensive reply very quickly.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 When I claimed for the woodburner in 2004, I added up the value of the individual items listed on the invoice, added 5.5% and entered the total in the relevant box on the tax form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 We have just done the same, advised by our supplier. We took the labour charges away from the total and used the remaining figure. Time will tell if we did it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 That was correct Chas, you can claim for the cost of the fire but not the man hours and it must be on one invoice Official line from French Impots on this :vous devez avoir une seule facture faite par l'artisan qui a vendu et installé l' équipement de chauffage Vous devez déclarer le prix TTC mais le coût de la main d'oeuvre est exclu. Translation:You must have a single invoice from an artisan (registered) who sold AND installed the heating equipment. You must declare the price inclusive of tax but the cost of the man hours is excluded. This means that heaters, fires etc bought yourself from a brico type store and installed by yourself or a registered artisan are not eligible for this tax refund. You can declare this amount on line, you must keep the supporting documents for three years in case of an inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Oh good, that's what I thought it probably was, and now I've done it - I love the way you can go back and add things up to The Date.Thanks to all of youChrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I like the way you can claim for the boiler installation and if the tax rebate is greater than your tax bill, the impots give you a cheque for the difference.....[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 HelloDoes anyone know if there is a time limit on the claims for relief on a boiler installation. I have not put the details on a tax return and wonder whether I can include it next year.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 You should call the tax office tel number shown at the top of your form, they'll explain how to go about it. You should still be able to correct your 2006 declaration, but I would not put them on the 2007 declaration as the invoice date might be checked.

Ron Avery Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 That is correct Clair, you can make an amended tax return ONLY if the installation was in 2006 but if it was for a previous year, you have to write to the tax office. I had this becauise I did not know that I could claim for my new boiler. The SW tax office help line Mme Riboulet, told me after the deadline for tax declarations had passed:"It is too late to make an amended tax return, but if you think that your income tax is wrong you have to writte a letter to the Directeur des services fiscaux of your town, to make a " reclamation" ; explain what is wrong and join a copy of your supporting document (bill) with the date of payment".

avinalarf Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I've just claimed for a woodburner. The tax office told me I could only claim on the cost of the woodburner, not the associated chimney parts required to fit it. If anyone has contrary advice, particularly from a tax office, I would be interested to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 We had the same tax ruling on our woodburner installation a few years ago - no flue parts etc were included.Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I calimed for the lot less fitting, supplied a copy of the invoice and had no problem.I suppose it depends on how thorough/busy/hassled they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
