I think the Connexion used to do a 'how to' guide for filling in the impots. Have a laugh at my last run in with 'Les Impots'
Thanks Robin, will try it. I type so fast accidentally click something on the laptop and boom - it's all gone! Doesn't happen on the desk top.
Tracy, try right mouse clicking and then click undo when you lose all your typing. It works when I'm using email, so maybe it will work here!
Er, no, very little sense at all. I am struggling with 8 pages of nonsense plus now however many other pages of nonsense are on the 2042. All this faffing for such a minimal income. But I do like to do things 'proper' - I have an innate fear of getting in trouble with authorities.
:-)
Ahhhh, do you see how valuable you are and why you're so worthy of them there stripes? I would have just done as told to by the letter and simply completed the complementaire form. Thank you so much Tracy but please don't suddenly go off on holiday or something - I am SURE I'll be back...
PS - Did the google translation make any sense at all - I used it once and couldn't believe how bad it was!
Grr, I do this so often - type away then lose the lot!
Valerie, you need to download this form. Everyone is obliged to fill in the 2042, then if you have additional income - ie self employed, earnings from overseas or property then you must fill in the annex formulaire 2042C - 'complimentaire'
They will not know Twerp exists, you must also tick the box for 'parent' isole' - I believe this gives you an extra part so very important. This page here will give you all the info you need. You send it to your local Hotel des Impots, it is totally separate from anything to do with AE or RSI and they do not communicate at all.
Don't worry, there is no rush and it is not even possible to declare on line yet, I just had a look and it doesn't open until 19th of April.
Hi
According to the instructions, State Pensions are NOT subject to CRS/CRDS providing you are in receipt of healthcare in France via an S1 from the UK.
Now my question is does this apply to USA Social Security payments as well as I have both?
Thanks
David
Which begs another idiot question. The Attestation Fiscale I received said I have to fill in the 2042 C, with no mention of the other one. The "C" doesn't have a 'situation familliale' on it. Can I assume therefore (always dangerous to assume in France) that they'll actually remember about Twerp somewhere in the depths of the RSI? And would it be the address on the Attestation that I send the form to?
Had a look - I looked at my 'declaration preremplie' it's on the second page of the standard declaration, where it says 'votre situation familiale' section 'C' Personnes a charge en 2012'
Section 'B' is for you to tick also -Parent isole' it affects the amount of tax you pay so very important.
I think, it's on the first page or two of the 2042 - 2042C is the 'complementaire' section.
The Idiot here has two questions (so far...). I've Google translated the entire form 2042C section by section by cannot find anywhere appropriate to 'declare' I have a little boy. There is a section for dependents over 75 and one for 'alternating' children (presumably spending time with another parent). I have obviously missed something but it would be nice if they knew he existed.
Question 2 - if I do ever manage to fill in the bloomin' thing, where do I send it?
Yes - Hilary got everything right, through (bad) experience.
I also went on the impôts.gouv website
and found all the (stupid) rules on the matter :
http://bofip.impots.gouv.fr/bofip/2117-PGP.html?ftsq=television&identifiant=BOI-PAT-CAP-10-20121224
Indeed, that tax is due for my friend (who, by the way, thought she WAS actually declaring a TV - except that she had misread the French !)
but it's good to bear in mind that there are exceptions
based on age, handicap as well as means.
And, of course, you can watch all your programmes on computers : still exempt from tax - BUT they add that if the trend "increases" they might review their decision.
Arrrgh !
Bonne journée à tous
Only if you bake scones for me for the next 3 years :D

The word from the horse's mouth, so to speak. We had an old English TV purely for my exercise dvds, no decoder, no satellite dish.
We were "controlled" by an inspector from the impôts who told us we had to pay the TV licence. The only way to avoid this was to get the tuner removed. I went to my local electrical shop and was practically laughed out of the shop and told that, whilst they could remove the tuner, it would make no difference whatsoever, since the TV is incapable of receiving a signal in France, especially now that the whole area is digital.
We have had a long battle with the impôts. My husband, who is French, really got the bit between his teeth and requested a face to face meeting with the head honcho.
But they wouldn't budge on the issue of removing the tuner. Incidentally, if you have a dvd player capable of recording, this, too is considered a device capable of receiving a TV signal and therefore subject to the licence fee.
What we have since done is got rid of the TV and found a handy little gadget which means I can connect my non-recording dvd player to a COMPUTER SCREEN for my exercise videos.
I would quite like the inspector to call again and accuse me of not declaring my "TV"!
Thanks for the link Tracy
Love your sense of humor Christine :-) do you want to do mine as well, pretty please?
Yes, even though she only has English language TV it is capable of receiving French TV as well so it should be taxed. Many people seem to not pay but if they are ever asked to as far as I know back payment is demanded.
