Tax Fonciere

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I've just been told by a friend that once you reach your 60th birthday, you no longer have to pay the tax fonciere.  Does anyone know if this is correct as that would be a real bonus ie we could afford an annual holiday !!

Thanks in advance.

i talked to a legal bod based in france recently about this.  now i stand to be corrected but i think she said the age is 70, that you have to be french resident and that your income is also taken into account.

no doubt someone out there will have the definitive info.  new as i am to the forum, i am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of knowledge you can tap into from forum members

su

do you mean that it might be possible to have help with both your taxe fonciere AND taxe d'habitation?  i won't get too excited yet as i don't know how "low" income might be defined!

it's all yet food for thought.  at this rate i am going to get mental indigestion very soon

cheers

No I'm afraid not.  I went with a friend on a  low income

(less than 6000 euros per year) who is 60 tomorrow - and they explained

to us that generally speaking, Taxe Foncière is based solely on the

value of the house (in his case the bill is 700 euros)- your income is

irrelevant and you have to pay it until you are 75.  Taxe

d'Habitation on the other hand is means tested and you can get a

reduction no matter what your age is if you are on a low income.
