Gardian Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Guepe ..............First of all, there is virtually no chance whatsoever of these bills ever catching up with you through 3 house moves, so forget about that!Taxe Fonciere - at completion (which presumably from what you say, took place sometime in the Summer of '06), your vendor (or the Notaire) should have made some kind of financial adjustment reflecting your 'part' of the year for which you were liable. If there was no mention, then you'll probably cop for the lot of it.Taxe d'Habitation - your vendor was (as I understand it), liable for the whole of the tax due for 2006, given that he was still resident (or at least the owner) on 2/1/06. Again if no mention made ........Probably no good faxing the Notaire with your details - he / she won't be terribly interested. The point of contact is your local Hotel d'Impots, which is the font of all knowledge when it comes to all this. Get a number for them, ring them and throw yourself on their mercy. They'll tell you what's owing (if anything) and you can provide them with your current address. At best, they'll currently have your original UK address. I've found them to be extremely helpful people (at least down here).If the Notaire was doing his job properly, then your liability is for 50% - ish of 2006 TaxF only, (pretty much as with our move, and it was clearly specified), but who knows with your bod. Don't ask him / her though, ask the Impots - all that really matters is what they reckon is owing. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Just to reinforce Gaurdian's comments. You will not personally receive any bills directly from the local Tresoire until late summer/autumn 2007, when you should get the 2 bills with about a 2 month wait between them.

pip24 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 If its any help, dept 24 pay by dates are Tax Fonc, 16/10/2006 Tax Hab, 15/12/2006 . (we received the bills 5 weeks prior to these dates) but I don't know if other departments are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 They vary a bit Pip which was why I was a bit fuzzy over when the bills would arrive. The Ardèche is the same as you but other Departements are a month earlier. And there may be other variations as well for all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC<P><IMG src="http:forums.livingfrance.comimagesline.gif"><BR>Paul, Debbie and Josh, <BR>London & Dept 24<BR><a target=_blank href="http:www.les-brandes.net" target=_blank>http:www.les-brandes.net<A><BR><P> Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I wouldn't stress too much ether, Due to a c0ckup on a purchasethat spanned dec and jan (and therefore confused the "whos liable"situation - who the owner was on Jan 1st 2006 was unclear) We have only justgot our 2005 bills sorted.On top of this, we didn't even get a late payment fine asit was the authorities problem as the sent the bills to Germany and then Ireland !Having a friendly notaire was good too, they helped bywriting the letter to the tax people on our behalf complete with official stampand even posted it for us !All curcumstances are different but If you haven't got the bills, putthe money for the taxes away and go bug the notaire :o) as long as your seen tobe trying to pay / not trying to aviod paying you should be OK..

Nick Trollope Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 [quote user="Gardian"]Taxe Fonciere - at completion (which presumably from what you say, took place sometime in the Summer of '06), your vendor (or the Notaire) should have made some kind of financial adjustment reflecting your 'part' of the year for which you were liable.

The most you would be expected to pay would be your portion (Aug-Dec 06). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
