- These taxes seem to depend on an infinite number of factors. How charming in a typically French way. They also vary from commune to commune as opposed to regionally. There is no one single rule to follow and they vary greatly. In Brittany for example, they can range from £25 to £500 per annum.
- Both taxes will be much higher in towns and cities than rural areas.
- Clients will be told of the approximate amount by the local office when they decide to buy.
- Not a deciding factor as to whether or not they buy.
- Substantially cheaper than the UK and clients are normally pleasantly surprised when they find out the exact figures.
The calculation of these taxes:
Taxe d’habitation:
Anyone living in France (tenant or owner) is responsible for this tax. It depends on:
-size of property
-facilities and quality of property
-local amenities
Taxe foncière:
Liability for this tax lies with the owner of the property/land. It is a larger amount than the taxe d’habitation, normally being around twice as much. There are two parts to this tax; the taxe foncière bâtie (for the building) and the taxe foncière non bâtie (for the land). The latter depends on the size as well as the nature of the land.
