Taxe d'habitation

Thanks, that is what I thought I had heard but I wasn't sure.

I have missed the deadline date this year of 31 Dec anyway so have 12 months to think about it.

Would prefer the money to go to our commune for the reasons you say.

Scam

Thanks for the information.

I wrote back to him and informed him that I had traced his information and that I was reporting him to all forums and the authorities. Heard nothing since.

Definitely a scam

The last posting I did was from a French Chambre D'hote forum translated into English. It was a report on this person who had sent a cheque and overpaid and was traced back to Ivory Coast. If anyone gets an email from him I would reject immediately. Thanks everyone for your support. Ron

For the two apartments two thirds turn into actual bookings.

Hope that helps.
