Tax Reduction on Double Glazing

[BluegrassFreak]

I know there have been some changes in the Tax system regarding tax benefits for Eco work, but I cannot found it on the French Tax site.

Does anyone know what (if any) Tax reductions there are for having Double glazing fitted around the house ?

Many Thanks

I had heard that the tax break was being reduced from 25% to 22,5% but don't see it there.

First section of Norman's link:

 

Vous pouvez bénéficier d'un crédit d'impôt si vous effectuez, entre le 1.1.2005 et le 31.12.2012, des dépenses en faveur des économies d'énergie et du développement durable, dans votre habitation principale située en France, que vous en soyez propriétaire, locataire ou occupant à titre gratuit.

TAUX DU CRÉDIT D'IMPÔT

Sous réserve des précisions apportées ci-dessous, les dépenses réalisées au cours de l'année 2010 ouvrent droit au crédit d'impôt au taux de :

1 - 15 % pour les acquisitions :

-      de chaudières à condensation ;

-      de matériaux d'isolation thermique des parois vitrées, de volets isolants et de portes d'entrée donnant sur l'extérieur ;

If you are French tax resident and fill out your tax form then you will get a cheque

It has to be your principal residence. It looks like yours may be a holiday home.
