Recommended Posts

Hi

Could anyone work out for me what I would receive in my hand if I sold my french house I have tried so many times to work everything out from advice people having given me and I am tearing my hair out. I have recd an offer of euros 133,000 (which is less the estate agents fees of 13,000) purchase price of house euros 112,000 balance on mortgage euros 89,000, purchase costs approx euros 14,000.

I live in the uk and have owned the house in France for 5 years now.

Any help woould be appreciated.

Thanks

I make it about 42600 in your hand less any notaires costs which are minimal in sales transactions.

Assumptions

Second home

Purchase price (112) did not include purchase costs (14) (agents or notaires)

Offer of 133000 already has agents fees deducted, if not take these off of the above (42600)

You will be aware that the situation about tax on added value (Capital Gains in UK terms) on seconf homes is very fluid at the moment.

A couple of weeks ago it was announced that the 15 year rule was being abolished and replaced by a rule based on Inflation, then this week the rule has been re-instated but based over 30 years.

You can read about it in the link I posted in the thread  a couple of days ago..

[quote user="Jon 1"]Does anyone have an up to date reference on the deductible 15% from CGT for property improvements i.e. without the need to provide receipts?

How does one advise the Notaire of this 15% rule?[/quote]

Hi,

      If he's any good the notaire should be advising you of it.    The reference is  RMJOAN 18.3.08,n°10501.

Ceux que vous avez réalisés vous-même ou fait
réaliser par une tierce personne autre qu’une
entreprise ne peuvent pas être pris en compte,
pas plus que le coût des matériaux que vous avez
achetés, même s’ils ont été installés par une
entreprise. Si vous cédez un appartement dans
un immeuble collectif, vous pouvez aussi tenir
compte des travaux sur ses parties communes.
Enfin, si vous vendez un bien que vous donniez
en location, vos dépenses d’amélioration ayant
généré un déficit foncier non imputé à la date de
la vente majorent également votre prix d’achat.
En principe, les travaux ne sont retenus que si
vous pouvez les justifier. Toutefois, lorsque vous
cédez un immeuble bâti plus de 5 ans après son
acquisition, le fisc vous autorise à majorer forfaitairement
son prix d’acquisition de 15% au
titre des dépenses de travaux, sans justificatifs
(RM JOAN 18.3.08, n°10501).[;-)]
