Hereford Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Can anyone who has had the same problem please answer this: If a house you own is lived in, rent free, by an elderly relative who pays the Taxe foncieres?If the elderly relative has a low income, such that if he owned the property he would benefit from a reduction, is this available to the owner as well? Elderly relative is in the tax system here, has been for more than 2 years. He is not counted as part of our "foyer".many thanks if anyone can help.hereford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Fonciere is the owners tax. Habitation is the occupiers tax. So the taxe fonciere is down to the owner and no one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditvic Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Paid my Taxess foncieres online about 3 weeks ago, I think I did everything ok! but no money has yet come out of my account. Does anyone know if this is normal or do they take it out on a certain date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
