Cheque d'emploi

[val douest]

I originally posted this as a follow-up to a question in the gardening section but I think it makes more sense to post it here!

Thinking of our neighbour, who is having trouble managing her garden, if someone is in the French tax system but does not have enough income to actually pay tax, would they still receive a rebate in the form of real money when using the cheque d'emploi system?  I know this is what happens in the case of tax rebates for the installation of 'green'  energy appliances (ie you actually receive a cheque for real money if you do not pay tax). Many thanks Val

Hi!

It can be either /or - depending on the case.

What you are looking for is a crédit d'impôts, which gives you a refund:

  Hi,

    On the government site it says that the relief takes the form only of a reduction of "impots sur le revenu" of 50% , except in the case of "garde des enfants à l'exterior", when it can be in the form of a credit.

Many thanks for that, Parsnips - I guess in that case she's out of luck.
