Tax 2010 - Tax credit for wood-fired boiler

[Araucaria]

I am filling in our tax return for the current year - ie our 2009 income.

We had an (expensive) wood-fired boiler installed in 2009, but I just don't know what figure to put into box 7WK on our tax return form 2042. The boiler cost was more than €16 000 (please spare my blushes and don't ask how much more - but it was one of those automatic ones fed by an archimedes screw from a silo of wood-chips. The entire commune has been to see it).

The credit available is 40% of €16 000 as we are a two-person household.

Is the figure that goes into box 7WK on the tax return

(a) the actual cost (eg €20 000)

(b) the limit - "plafond d'investissement" (ie €16 000)

or

(c) the tax credit (ie €6 400 if I've got my sums right, which is 40% of €16 000) ?

I'd be most grateful for a definitive answer. Thanks in advance

It's the price of the boiler including TVA from the installer's invoice, excluding the labour charge. The tax credit/plafond is calculated automatically.

Thanks very much SD - very helpful. If I'd been doing it on-line it might have been possible to see what figures were accepted there.

Was your answer from personal experience or did you find official guidance somewhere? Because I certainly couldn't.....[8-)]

Answer derived from official source (as always):

Tax note 2041 GR

• Le prix d’acquisition des appareils de chauffage au bois ou autres biomasses et pompes à chaleur autres que air/air doit être inscrit :

- case 7WK de votre déclaration des revenus n°2042.

 

Trust me..........[;-)]

Thanks AGAIN SD, really helpful, and that note also list the attachments (justificatifs) you need to send in with your (paper) return.

I'll be down at the Bureau des Impots this afternoon.
