The method of calculating local taxes is so complex and opaque that it makes challenging them very difficult. Especially if you want to lower the rental value of your property, on which the taxes are based. But solutions exist.
If you find the local tax bill too high, be aware that you can question the calculation elements. You have until the end of 2025 to contest the 2024 taxes or claim relief that the tax authorities have failed to apply to you. Here are 5 tips to lighten the bill.
1) Check the details of the rental value of your properties
Checking the cadastral rental value indicated on your local tax notices is always useful because the information available to the tax authorities to calculate it is often old and incomplete, or even inaccurate, which can result in being overtaxed. You will only find a summary description of your property on your personal space on the impots.gouv.fr website (“Manage my real estate” service). For details, request the evaluation sheet (print no. 6675 M) at your property tax center. It is better to be assisted by a tax expert to decipher the very technical information in the document (overall correction, surface area equivalences, weighted surface area, category, etc.).
