under the cosh! Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I noticed from reading another post that Habitation Taxe may not be payable by someone aged over 60. Does this also apply with a uk joint owner, as i am 62 and my wife is under 60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinabee Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The reduction is applied automatically when you complete your French tax return. Only one person in the household needs to be 60 or over, as long as you complete a joint tax return ( and are resident in France). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Is it your main residence? Do you fill in a French tax return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
under the cosh! Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi Bob TThis is currently my secondary residence and hence i do not fill in a french tax return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I think you will find that there is no reduction for a résidence secondaire, and in fact the taxe d'habitation is higher than if the same place were your résidence principale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
