Tax foncier and d’habitation in France. What do they serve?

Les impôts locaux : à quoi ça sert ?

Tout comprendre par Pascal Le Guern jeudi 30 octobre 2014

Vous avez payé dernièrement la taxe foncière. La taxe habitation, c’est le mois prochain (le 17 novembre date limite de paiement, le 22 si c’est par internet ou smartphone). You’ve just paid your tax foncier. Tax d’habitation comes next month (17th Nov is the last date for payment or the 22nd if paid on-line)

Ces impôts sont versés au profit des collectivités territoriales (régions, départements, communes). These taxes are spread to local services (regions, departments, communities).
Mais à quoi servent-ils précisément ? Ecoutez la réponse de Carole Rénucci, Directrice de la Rédaction du magazine Notre Temps (dossier complet sur le sujet dans le Notre Temps daté de novembre en partenariat avec France Info). But what do they serve exactly? Listen to the response of Carol Rénucci, Publications Manager of the magazine Notre Temps (November issue with France Info)

Sachez que si vous n’êtes pas d’accord avec la somme qui apparaît sur l’avis d’imposition, vous pouvez toujours effectuer une réclamation à partir du site internet www.impots.gouv.fr. Si vous n’obtenez pas satisfaction, vous pouvez également contacter votre centre de finances publiques et en cas d’échec, il vous est encore possible de vous adresser au conciliateur fiscal départemental. If you are not happy with the sum you are asked to pay you can always reclaim by going to  www.impots.gouv.fr. If you do not get satisfaction, you can contact your public finances centre offices to address your department taxation adviser. 

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
