Tax for CFE
Hello Valerie
I registered as an LMNP ( Location meubl茅e non professionnelle) in june 2018.
In Feb/ March 2019 I became class茅e (meubl茅 de tourisme) as I had read that it was more beneficial for taxes. As soon as I received my attestation of classement, I sent my certificate to the bureaux d鈥檌mp么t to let them know.
I received a notice from the bureaux d鈥檌mpot in November 2019 which informed me that I was liable for CFE tax in December 2019, and that I had to open a tax account as a 鈥榩rofessionalle鈥� on the government鈥檚 website for Impot, in order to pay the CFE tax on time.
I have read on line that people registered as meubl茅s de tourisme are normally exonerated from paying CFE, and so I raised it with my local tax office.I was told yes, that is the case, however they said that they had not received the documentation that I had previously sent to them. I was advised that, due to time constraints for the payment, it would be better to pay the tax first, and then to ask for a reimbursement due to the fact that I was class茅e.
So I paid the CFE tax. And then asked for a reimbursement, and I sent my all of my documents again (by email) to show that I was meubl茅 de tourisme, and recieved an response to tell me that I should receive a reimbursement and that my case had been passed up the line for final approval, and that I should receive the reimbursement shortly.
I have now received a note to say the full CFE tax was due, with no exemptions or reductions due.
Can you confirm, please, if my understanding is correct, and that meubl茅 de tourism class茅e are exempt from the CFE tax?
Inluding if I rent the house out for only 7 months a year?
(is my understanding of the rules incorrect?)
Thankyou for your help
Regards
