Taxe d'Habitation
Hello,
I'm getting worried because I haven't yet received my Taxe d'Habitation bill for 2016. I live in Collioure - are they just late sending them out this year or am I right to be getting a bit agitated?

Thanks Helen and Kate, I'll wait a bit longer before rushing off to the tax office. (I never thought I''d write that particular phrase!)

I've paid mine by prélèvement (I was surprised to find, doing the sums) for the better part of thirty years: they can send the bill to Mars for all I care. They were, and are, so trivial in my old place that I never bothered to go for installments, and I haven't bothered to do that here either, but of course you can if you want. It's easy enough to do: why on earth would you spend your autumn lurking round the letter-box, especially on a nice day like today?

Thanks again for the helpful replies. I know, it's sad, hanging around the postbox, but the situation's complicated. I half-suspect my bill may have been sent in error to my old UK address despite the tax authorities having my up to date details. This happened before in slightly different circumstances and it cost me a penalty for late payment - no reasoned arguments accepted! As you say Martyn, paying by prélèvement is definitely the way to go.

Re: Taxe d'Habitation
I certainly wouldn't assume that any address they have got for national direct tax (or even taxe d'habitation) is the one they'll use for taxe foncière if you haven't told them that specifically for that purpose (any more than I'd do so for council tax in the U.K.). Apart from anything else, taxe foncière attaches to the owner: it's neither here nor there whether they are the person on record as living there.Sue234 wrote:Thanks again for the helpful replies.

And it looks like the Avis was indeed sent out on the 25th. Mine arrived in Glasgow today and has already been 'paid' online - or, at least, sorted in so far as the payment will be triggered when it's due next month.
Just a thought, what's the plural of 'avis'? Am thinking it's unchanged 'avis' - non?

It set me thinking how many other words I know like this: at first your mind goes blank, then you think of lots. But the striking thing, at least as it struck me in the shower, is that French has "as" and "es" and "os" and "us", not all nouns but not a bad striking rate. Only "is" seems to be missing, and maybe I'd find that with a bigger dictionary.martyn94 wrote:Oui.Helen wrote:And it looks like the Avis was indeed sent out on the 25th.

I think they must, if only because there doesn't seem to be any other rule they could possibly take. But think of ananas, matelas, vis, pas, souris, "et tant d'autres" (he said, running out of steam).Helen wrote:Anglais

Bis
hmm, can't think of any more.
But they follow the same rule don't they?

And also paradis, salsifis, prospectus....
I must go and have another shower: I evidently think better there.
