Property taxes on LMNP
Hello Valerie
I run a LMNP with a secondary property.. I have been doing this for 2 years (all properly registered with the mairie etc).
1. I read a number of articles last year which advised that, if you were LMNP and become 鈥渃lass茅e聽禄 for the property that you rent out to tourists, then one of the benefits is that you become exempt from tax d鈥檋abitation and fonciere on the property in question . So I had the property classed by the tourist board and received my certificate and attestation of classification, which I sent to the Mairie and to the tax office.
However, I have recently received an avis of tax fonci猫re and tax habitation for the property, for the amounts as if it was a secondary house that is NOT rented out but used for personal purposes.
Is this an error? Should I have been exempted??
2. I was not class茅e in the first year of being LMNP, but my local taxes were still as if it was a secondary home, used for personal purposes and not for business purposes. My question is, for the first year, should my taxes have been less than that of a secondary home, under the circumstances?
Thanks for you advice on this.
Best regards.
