Renovation tax

Bah, got an unexpected bill today for 400 euro for renovation tax !!

Two pages of explanatory notes and I'm still not much wiser what it's for. It's obviously triggered by the permis de construire (planning permission) and the price is based on the surface area of the construction or renovation.

Fortunately it's not payable until January 2009, yeah, like I'm going to remember to pay a bill in 18 months time.

These are my experiences of renovation and running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, etc. Stay tuned.
