I did my tax return last week and in form 2044 I was about to give the names of our new tenants when I noticed that if I did so, indicating a change of tenant, the form would direct me to report this in the “Gérer mes biens” section of the Fisc’s website.
I was so fed up at that stage I just decided to enter the same names as last year.
Will steel myself and go back into the (submitted) form and look but offhand, did anyone else encounter this and if so, was it possible to indicate new names and then just continue in the tax return? Or were you automatically redirected to “Gérer mes biens” or whatever it’s called?
Surely the latter is just for reporting real estate located in France? Our rentals are in the UK.
Is your rental revenue more than 15000€ per year, if not maybe you can declare as “micro”, it would be simpler than doing the 2044, and probably cheaper for you.
Sorry, you probably know this already…
Thanks for the heads up @Helenochka - couple of thoughts, I put the name of the letting agents in (you may not have one), but I wonder what happens if one leaves it blank?
Also, looking back at my notes I recall for line 224 repairs, I think you complained you had to enter details - just to say I entered a sum but did not click on the details button. so never entered any.
Thanks Larkswood.
Nice idea. I like it.
We do have a letting agent but it never occurred to me in the past to enter their name as the tenants (although since we have 2 little rentals that might strike the Fisc as a bit funny if we had the same name for both tenants).
It’s entirely possible that you can just enter new tenant names and NOT be redirected to “Gérer mes biens” or flagged up in some way as having failed to report the change in “Gérer mes biens”.
The fact that you were able to just skip the itemised expenses gives me hope that they’re not as digitally joined-up as I thought.
It’s just I thought I was finally shot of that blo*dy tax return and will now have to steel myself to go back into it!
