"Tax warning for second-home owners with French CdS

[hughnique]

It's about time they caught up with a lot of these fence sitters, as I have said before one in our village, despicable piece of poo. He is up to every thing a going, but recently after 20 plus years of permanent residence here, decided to get things sorted and legal. I am sure he is still claiming the WFA and whatever else he can though.

Out of interest, if someone claims to be resident for WARP purposes, can the taxman go back and check for returns for the appropriate years - or are the tax returns actually required to obtain WARP?

They may check in the background, I sent a copy of my existing permanent Carte, name and address and that was it. There was a legal sur le l’honneur which I’m pretty sure covered most bases. It was done in a rush in a very simple way. I hope anybody who knowingly abused it get what they deserve.

I included tax assessments in our applications both in the original paper dossiers (where I think they were specifically requested) and online as a document of proof of being in France.
