  A property owner in France with an excessive real property tax, … 
  can it  be your situation ?

 

The general subject of this website is the four French local taxesFrench local taxes, French real property tax, and specifically the real property tax on developed land (la taxe foncière sur les propriétés bâties) and the land registry rental value (“la valeur locative cadastrale”).

 

This website will provide you will an approach and some tools to realise a diagnosis of your local taxes to detect the excessive tax situations that concern more than 25% of the French premises.

 

Mistakes (same building, same street, same municipality and a very different tax amount) generally concern the surfaces or the reference premises choice by the French tax administration.

 

This way to realise a recovery audit of local taxes can be extended, from the real property tax on developed land, to other local taxes like the business tax (“taxe professionnelle”), real property tax on undeveloped land (“taxe foncière sur les propriétés non bâties”) and residence tax (“taxe d’habitation”) and even to other sorts of taxes like the tax on garbages (“taxe sur les ordures ménagères” or TEOM) or the local equipment tax (“taxe locale d’équipement”).
