Tax invoice increases by 11 to Montreuil 8

As after each entry, local taxpayers from receiving their leaf taxation for property tax on buildings (TFB), and soon for the housing tax (TH), are at the party. A little less however than in previous years because, overall, local communities have not been as heavy hand. As "Les echos" it revealed last spring ("Les Echos" from April 19 and 20), the increase in rates by municipalities is 2.8 in the 41 major cities of France. This development, established by the analysts of the Forum for the management of cities, is of a magnitude far less than the increase in 2009 ( 5.2).

Painless or relatively digestible in the majority of these cities, the pill is hard to swallow in one dozen others. The amount of TH and TFB which must discharge their taxpayers is less than 4 to their previous "tax invoice", where it has been the accumulation of rates by the Department, the city and its intermunicipal increases.

Thus, many homeowners, the first to receive their notice of taxation (addressing no later than October 15 at midnight), have been startled in the Ile-de-France. Tax invoice increases by 11 to Montreuil, 8.4 7.9, Paris Saint-Denis and Argenteuil. The Fourplay worst levy increases, as this time of the TH included Strasbourg ( 9.4), Paris ( 9.3) and Montreuil ( 8.7). With 435 euros of contribution, the Parisians subject to this tax still remain less complain. The Nîmois indeed pay almost triple (1,180 euros) and painfully felt the slightest increase. And what about Montreuil, where the taxpayer should make a similar effort (1.128 euros) and continues to be bludgeoned.

A little more each year

Note that the amount of assessment does not diminish or is stable in any large city, apart from Argenteuil, where the levy in respect of the tax moves of 0.3. In fact, at constant tax rates, the taxpayer pay always a little more each year than the previous. The bases on which these rates apply are indeed always an increase in finance ( 1.2 for 2010). In addition, tax virtue whose most municipalities seem inclined to show this year has not necessarily shared by the departments. The rates that they have voted in the spring grew on average two times slower than in 2009 (2.5 against 6.3), but this wisdom is characterized by the Aisne ( 12.9), the Saône-et-Loire ( 13.5) and even less the Yvelines ( 14.8).

The sauce in which the local taxpayers will be eaten next year could prove less spicy. Perhaps because they see more clear in their leaves of tax. In 2011, the tax will be more indeed perceived by the Commons and the intercommunalités. Knowing more exposed, their elected representatives will tend to be more circumspect on rates. "Housing tax could still increase and this, without any need to raise rates", however weighs Nicolas Laroche, forum for the management of cities. How "By not prolonging not routinely discount policy that applied up to now the departments." In these times of budgetary scarcity, more than one intermunicipal could be trying to.
