Why have the Impots reimbursed all our tax paid to date this year?

And told us we have nothing to pay sur le revenu 2018?

They've sent an Avis Declarative rather than the usual Avis Primitif. What's the difference?

Last year we paid tax on income and social charges on UK rental income.

This year, both the totals for these are shown on the Avis Declarative as 0 euros to pay. And, as I said, they have reimbursed the first and second payments made in 2017-2018 so far.

Just as we'd made our peace with paying social charges on the UK rental income, they've changed it all again!

UK rental income is only taxable in the UK, so although you declare it, because it is already declared and taxed in the UK (even if it is below the threshold for tax) then all that happens in france is it is part of your total income and may affect the tax bracket you are placed in. I know this because we have recently had an 'issue' with our UK rental income and have had to sort it out with the French tax office.

Hi,
  You should never have been charged income tax and csg on your uk rents.  You can claim a repayment for the three past years.  Send a "reclamation" letter with copies of the avis for the years in question , include the recent  0  tax one.  Quote the convention internationale 2008 article 6.

Hi parsnips, thank you for dropping by ;-)

I will indeed be chasing a reimbursement of last years social charges on our UK rental income, armed with this years and the previous years 0 charges, as you suggest.

To clarify, this years Avis Declaratif also shows that we have no tax - nothing - to pay on our income - which is not the norm (not that we earn loads, but usually we have to pay several hundred tax on income). I've compared it with last years calculations, and there are some differences:

In calculating the "revenu percus par le foyer fiscal" they have not included "revenus fonciers nets"

This means that the "revenu brut global" is several thousand euros less than last years calculation.

There are several other subsequent differences, but I think they stem from the above? Is this because I have done the tax return incorrectly? Hmm, I think we won't blow the refund quite yet and Mr CF will be off to the impots office in September - again!

How is the new prelevement a la source affecting this, it starts in January, and that means that 2018 is not getting taxed??????

Well for employees that is what is happening, otherwise they would be paying twice next year!

I don't know how they are calculating it for people on pensions, but for us, who have always fallen below the tax threshold and have a fluctuating income, they are not deducting anything from us for next year, and I assume we will still do a tax form as per usual.. For this year we have some CSG to pay on our bank interest from the UK.
