Hi All
First posting here and hope someone can help.
We are resident in the UK but have a very small Airbnb near Limoges which we rent out in the summer months when we are there.
In June 2019 we filed our first tax declaration (2042 C Pro) and on advise of our local tax office sent it to an address in Paris. Just before Christmas we received the tax calculation sent to our address in the UK. This calculation showed that they accepted our figures (for 2018) and that we don’t owe any tax. So far so good…
Now, I was under the impression that once you had submitted your first tax return, we would be able to access our data online and submit any further years online too (without having to send them by mail).
So, I went to impots.gouv.fr and entered my tax identifier upon which I was told to go to my local tax office with my passport and they would be able to give me the password.
When we were in France over New Year, I went to my local tax office with the passport but was told that I had to do the declaration on paper again as I could not access the online portal due to being resident in the UK. However, the lady who provided that information did not convince me at all!
Does anyone have any experience in this?
Any help greatly appreciated.
