Hi

Is Habitation Tax paid by renters? And does the over 60 years of age exemption apply?

3

As a family with a low income we have certainly benefited from a reduction in Taxe d'hab several times, it is applied automatically provided of course you have filed a declaration d'impots;

We tend to get money back from les impots as well. We love France.

4

A rebate from Taxe d'Habitation or Impôt sur le Revenue ?

never heard of a rebate on T d 'H before

5

How does one make a claim to be exempt from all or part of the tax? Or perhaps it happens automatically? I have just received a rebate and I've no idea why, and neither had the person in the office which I phoned to enquire where this welcome pre-christmas gift had come from.

"...either widow(ed), whatever age and not subject to paying windfall tax (fortune tax) the preceding year..."

Being widow(ed) doesn't mean total exemption, it simply means exemption of half (if you lived in the property as a couple) of what is usually payable, unless any of the other criteria apply of course.
