A new feature introduced by taxes will make life easier for many owners.
It is a small revolution, long awaited, that taxes have finally put in place. It seemed anachronistic that it had still not been introduced by the tax administration, but it has finally been done. A change for some owners, who should be satisfied with this new feature. It will indeed simplify many things.
Until now, any owner building their home had to complete “paper” procedures with the Public Treasury. An obligation so that the accommodation is listed by the tax authorities, in particular with a view to making it liable for property tax each year.
But this process, which is the responsibility of the owner under penalty of a fine, had until now to be carried out by filling out an entire file by hand and a whole bunch of printed documents had to be attached. At a time when most procedures are done online, this seemed like an aberration.
This has now been corrected since, since December 5, 2024, this process can finally be carried out online. To do this, simply log into your personal tax space and go to the “Manage my real estate” section. There, it will be possible to indicate that the work is completed, directly from your computer. A considerable saving of time, even if the data to be declared will not necessarily decrease.
The identity and contact details of the owner will be necessary, as will the nature of the property (say that it is a home or a commercial premises for example), its location, the purpose of the work, the date completion of the latter, as well as a description of the characteristics of the property. In short, what was already requested in the Cerfa form.
This does not concern all owners since this approach only targets those who are building a property. Since the start of 2024, only around 400,000 new homes have been authorized to be built across the country.
