tenniswitch Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just received our first Td'H bill including the Redevance Audiovisuelle charge.What is "un dispositif assimile" in that context?We haven't bought tv equipment yet, although we did have the house wired for connection to an (as yet unpurchased) antenna and/or satellite.Does this make us liable for the RA charge for 2009? If not, how do we go about contesting it? Do we use the process for reclaiming Td"H outlined on page 2 of the Avis d'Imposition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 See sample letter here to ask for a review and regarding the date at which you become liable.Sont notamment considérés comme des dispositifs assimilés, lorsqu’ilssont associés à un écran ou à tout autre support de vision (écransouple accroché au mur par exemple), les magnétoscopes, lecteurs oulecteurs-enregistreurs de DVD, vidéo-projecteurs équipés d’un tuner.Les micro-ordinateurs munis d’une carte-télévision permettant la réception de la télévision ne sont pas taxables.VCRs, DVD readers and DVR-reader-recorders, video projectors equipped with a tuner areregarded as similar devices, when combined with a screen or othervisual media (flexible screen hanging on the wall for example).Micro-computers with a TV card allowing TV reception are not taxable.

tenniswitch Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thank, Clair, for your prompt and lucid response.We have only residence secondaire in France and are not liable for French impots, so have never filed a tax return.I do have a (probably stupid) question about writing for a review. On the back of our TdH form, there are 2 different addresses (pour obtenir des reponses plus detaillees)for Centre des finances publique:1. (sur le montant de votre impot) in our nearby market town;2. (sur le paiment de votre impot) for the office where we normally pay our property taxes, water and sewage.Is one of those the address we should use?

Gardengirl Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks from me, too, Clair; we've just had our first demand too and have no TV either. I was going to pop in to the local office tomorrow, and thanks to you I now have the correct form of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
