If you’re interested in buying a property in France or if you already own one, you’ve probably heard about the new government’s main announce; to cancel the taxe d’habitation or Housing Tax.
This tax is a local tax and is paid by everyone, the owners and the tenants, which is different with the Taxe Foncière that you only have to pay if you own a property.
It is true that it will be cancelled, but only for main homes and under certain income conditions; in other words, if you own a rental / holiday home in France, you’ll still have to pay it, thus this new law only applies to French residents.
