If it won’t let you attach a copy of your passport then you are perhaps in the wrong place.
If you don’t pay income tax then you won’t have the RFR reference number needed. So you have to do it the long way. Start by filling in this form, and I think you need to attach a scan of an ID document like your passport.
They’ve had mine 4 business days now, @Corona said his took 4 or 5 days. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are getting a lot of applications at the moment.
Main TF1 news tonights showed inundated tax offices with people having problems withtheir property declarations hence the deadline being put back a month but even the economist expert François Langolet(sp) warned these declarations are not easy for ordinary people to fill in.
I was one those at the local tax office last Tuesday as I am resident but don’t have a tax number. There’s just two offices. I arrived at 8.50 opening time was 9am but two people were already being interviewed. A very helpful energetic lady asked about my problem and asked me to wait a few minutes. An hour later there was no change the same two people were in the two offices. There was a queue of about 6 people behind me, many had come and gone away again. Anyway the same lady asked me in after an hour looking very harassed. She tried 5 or 6 different contact numbers with no success at which point she gave up and asked everyone to come back today so that’s where I"m going to spend this morning!
What could possibly go wrong when a government introduces a new declaration system for immovable property whilst reducing the number of permanent staff working in the department designed to check the declarations of the new system…
We did live in the Dordogne for a couple of years but left France four and a half years ago and to my surprise returned April last year. So this year I sent in a paper tax return with no tax number as I simply couldn’t find it. At the time I didn’t realise I needed the tax number for the property declaration. I also thought it would be easier to prove my id etc if I went to the local treasury office but having seen the queue this morning I’ll try online again this weekend. I understand that your tax number is valid for life and I have at last found my old one so it’s worth trying again.
