I've received a couple of letters regarding my taxes fonc and hab. In fact, the taxe d'hab letter is about my tv license, rather the the taxe itself. Did I read that they're abolishing the taxe d'hab?

Essentially, the letters say that payment will be taken from my accout 10 days after the bill date, bla bla bla.

Except that I've been paying both these taxes for fourteen years, in exactly the same manner.

Does anyone have any idea why I've received the letters?

Thank you. I wondered if that was the case, but don't know if my departement (87) has actually stopped the taxe d'hab.

Bit annoying that they just took the whole lot (hab, fonc and tv licence; €1,000 or so) in the last month or so... frown

I'm not resident, so I know I have to pay more than those that are, but not sure what the current policy is.

I don't want to pay them monthly. That wasn't my question. But thank you. smile

Taxe d'habitation isn't being abolished.

It applies to all non residents and the threshold has now changed to:

Couples without children with an income of less than €48,000.
Couples with a child or children who earn less than €54,000.
Single individuals with an income of less than €30,000

As for the payment details, then I find the tax office to be akin to voodoo. Never knowing what is coming and going and when. HOwever much better than social security, which is a black art
I understood that it's been phasing out for residents since 2018
