Well you thought council tax bills were bad in the UK - but France is beginning to feel the pain too. Taxe foncière is paid by property owners and is calculated against the rentable value of the property. Here are some extracts from Connexion ...Costs for the taxe foncière have soared between 11 and 65 per cent across France over the past five years. Paris is the hardest hit, with a 65 per cent rise, although it remains one of the least expensive cities, with an average payment of €500, against €978 in Amiens and €911 in Le Havre. The tax rises have hit 57 per cent of people across the country. With separate regional, departmental and municipal shares, that can mean widely varying demands making up the total figure. One region, Languedoc-Roussillon, has raised its tax 90 per cent. Auvergne is up 70.97 per cent, Bourgogne up 60.09 per cent, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur up 59.46 per cent, Ile-de-France up 45.98 per cent and Lorraine up 40.72 per cent. Elsewhere, regional demands have varied between Haute-Normandie 9.95, Poitou-Charentes 11.78, Aquitaine 17.41, Brittany 20.24, Basse-Normandie 23.31.Full details about the rate rises here: Taxe Fonciere
