As I am expecting our first Taxe d'habitation bill this year I thought I would take a look.However, I am now a little confused. For example, for the hamlet I live in (Sompt) it quotes the following taxes:Taux communal - 15,41%Taux intercommunal - 2,06%Taux dpartmental - 7,11%Making a grand total of 24,58%Can anyone explain what these actually mean. I know it means that the total is 24,58%, but 24,58% of what?Thank you!!----------------------http://www.sompt.comDeux-Sevres (region 79) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Its similar to the old Rateable Value system in the UK.Every property and piece of land has a Valeur Locative, which is a theoretical rental value based on the size,quality, and condition of the property.This value is assessed whenever there is a major change notified (IE work requiring a Permis or Declaration). It is also increased by an inflation percentage each year.The tax percentages you quote , and a few more on top, are applied to this Valuer Locative to work out the Taxes Habitation and Foncieres.
