Dick Smith Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Haven't received ours yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmike Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Finally received my TH bill in Cher (18). Bit more than last year but not too bad. Best news for me is it is due on Dec 15th and I will be there from the 4th and can therefore pop into the Tresorerie and avoid all those transfer fees or drawing money out of the hole in the wall and then going in and paying it into my account just so that I can write a cheque.This time next year I will be a permanent resident so no problems and cant wait!

Cassis Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Has someone opened a book on the last department to issue its demands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 We've paid ours, according to our bank statement, but not received the demand, so it must have been sent to the French address. The Foncière, however, gets sent to England... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyC Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 We got ours today, to our English address. We seem to be the only people in the world who have to pay more property taxes in France than we do in the UK (750 TF + 450TH). Surprising as we've only got a 2 bed semi in a small town (in France).

zeb Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Sorry, haven't had time to read right through this thread and it may have already been said but,you can pay monthly on line for 2007 if you have a French bank account. You have to register by 15th December for your first monthly payment to be made on 15th January.Go to www.impots.gouv.frYou can also pay your 2006 bill on line (plus foncieres, taxe professionelle and your income tax) and with taxe d'hab which was due 15th December, if you pay on line you get an extra 5 days!

C'est la vie![/quote]KathyC, you are definitely not alone. The operative word in your posting explaining the rate of your taxes is probably 'town'. As more and more British buy in or nearer towns, the myth of cheaper property taxes in France will no doubt start to disappear. Local friends tell me that the poorer the town, the more expensive the Taxe Fonciere and Taxe d'habitation and that explains why that of Paris is very low. I've been told that the logic behind it, as in the UK I suppose, is that you are paying for the extra services that the country dwellers lack, hence large properties and low taxes for them and the opposite for us. The poorer towns taxes are higher because they have fewer businesses to gain revenu from so this is passed onto homeowners (TF&TH) and the employed (TH). Anyway, that's what my local friends tell me and what I have understood from various articles. If anyone else has any other theories, I'd love to know.

gail17 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi Zeb Thanks for your reply. I have just been on the site you suggested and it seems pretty good. We may give this method a try this year and see how it goes. Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeb Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Gail - when you get your next bill, it gives payment details on the reverse.We pay all our taxes this way, spread over the year, as we did in the UK. No nasty surprises in October/November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
