Tax d'habitation

Sue · Post by **Sue** » Thu 06 Oct 2011 18:03

The demand for the tax d'habitation will be arriving soon. I understand from an article in The Connexion that if you are on a low income you may get a reduction and if you are over 60 and on a low income you may pay nothing at all. What if the demand is in the husbands name (well under 60) but the wife is over 60. Is this taken into consideration?

I dont know what the situation is if one partner is under 60 but if both are over 60 you do not pay this tax, also if you are on a low enough income while you may not have to pay anything you will certainly receive a reduction which can be quite substantial.

Think you might have got it wrong, lonesome paddy.
I'm pretty sure you have to be over 60 AND on a low income to get any reduction.
I know we paid the full whack when we lived in Torreilles.

Thanks lp for your reply. I have found an article on the internet which seems to say that only one spouse has to be over 60 to qualify for full relief (unless the other is working). We will see!

It could be completely wrong!

For a couple of years i did occasional work and my taxe d'habitation payment
came to €183 & € 189 which included the TV licence, when i checked this out they told me it was because of my low income for those 2 years.

Thanks Pol but luckily or maybe unluckily we are not affected by that situation!

So from what I read it appears that if you are over 60 you only get the full rebate if your family income, now including governement pensions that are taxed in the UK at source, are below a certain threshold.

Is that correct?

Yes, but there are certain other categories, such as people in receipt of invalidity benefit.
