Iceni Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Sorry I don't know the answer to your question but would like to ask you politely to not use capital letters. In 'netiquette' it is regarded as shouting and most folk get upset and it is also very hard to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 According to Terry Pratchet only DEATH speaks in block capitals. However why not pop into the Mairie and ask them, if they don't know I am sure they will know a man that does!......................John in Dept 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David584 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 StuieAccording to the book that you mention, new houses AND restored buildings used as main or second homes ARE exempt from property tax for two years from 1st January following the completion date.HOWEVER another book that I have, which is more recently published by a group of financial advisors, states that it applies to new build houses but there is no mention whatsoever of restored buildings. Talk about conflicting advice.As John has said, nip along to the Mairie and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I think Stuie is probably referring to the exemption from tax fonciere that applies for two years to newbuild construction but not to renovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
