  1. As the URSSAF report all relevant information to the Impots we have never had to report it on our tax declaration.

    We receive our credit automatically on our Avis.

    We don't use the service you mention, as our gardener doesn't want to register for it. He prefers to get his payments directly from us for each visit, and it's quite nice to receive our credit in one payment.

    "Expats who bank with Barclays are to be stripped of their accounts in a move that could leave some customers unable to access their savings and pensions."

    This part of the report is shere scare mongering, OK they may be shutting down accounts of non residents but to state the above is appaling reporting.

     The word is sheer

  3. Actually, it depends on what you agreed to in the sale document (Acte de Vente) which you signed, so I suggest you read it.

    Legally, Taxe d'Habitation is payable each year by whoever occupied the property, and Taxes Foncières by whoever owned it, on January 1st.

    In practice, in many Departments, it is customary for the full year of the Td'H to be paid by the seller, and for the TF to be paid proportionally by both he buyer and seller.

    However, buyer and seller are free to make and record whatever arrangements they agree on for the sale.

    What Is GmbH?

    GmbH is an abbreviation of the German phrase “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung,” which means “company with limited liability.” It’s a suffix used after a private limited company’s name in Germany (vs. AG, for aktiengesellschaft, which is used to indicate a public limited company).1 GmbH is the equivalent of LLC (limited liability company), used in the United States, or Ltd. (limited), used in the United Kingdom, and is the most common form of incorporation in Germany.

  5. We drove through Tours just after the main bridge had collapsed

     

    There was a diversion to cross the river by a temporary bridge, which was a shambles, and it was pretty scary to see the collapsed bridge we had driven over so many times.

    Tours was on our usual route from Spain to UK, but the next time we went through the main road and bridge had become mostly bus lane, so that through traffic was restricted to one lane on each side, partly blocked with parked cars, and with multiple traffic lights.

    Nowadays we avoid driving through there by taking the A20 to Vierzon, then using N- and D- roads through Blois to Le Mans. A much nicer journey.

    But that isn't corruption Biden -style is it?

    Corruption is where somebody or country pays the president/vice president to obtain their influence or favour in some way, like the Biden crime family has been been receiving the payments for years on behalf of Joe Biden.

    Paying a call girl off is the entire opposite!  

    Corruption is also when an official forces people to do something for him/her by using his/her senior position, by controlling lower officials he/she has appointed, or simply by bribing people.

    Sound familiar?

  7. I always ask for a receipt, but I'm glad they no longer give them automatically.

    There is a Carrefour market just up the road from us, and maybe there will be less receipts thrown out of car windows and drifting into our garden.

    It does appear, from what I've read, that it's almost become like the wild west getting stuff imported from the UK.

    Not if you check the terms related to the purchase and make sure the vendor is using an appropriate export scheme to reduce the cost.
