I am arranging to buy a new TV ( probably from Darty in Beziers ) and wanted some advice on a French TV licence.
I completed my French tax return on line yesterday and one of the questions asked was do you have a TV . ? I have answered yes. Does this mean that when I receive a demand for fonciere in October it will also include a demand for payment of a licence . This is what I understood from an internet search and as such I do not need to take any further action . |

"Why a lot of French pay cash and don't give their details, so my next door french neighbors said."
Or do like most brits do and get a british tv and hook it up to a satelite or internet box and not worry about french tv.. |

Just like in U.K. if you have the equipment to watch live tv then you have to get a license whether you watch French tv or not.
If you live in a very rural area you may get away with it but many areas are using drones now to check for undeclared extensions and swimming pools.  |

"It's automatically included in the taxes foncieres UNLESS you make a declaration that you don't have a TV.
Gonna raise your head above the parapet and take a chance?"
. Thank you. I usually just pay the Fonciere and have never checked what is included. It was only recently I made enquiries about a TV licence . It looks like I have one already then. I pay all my French taxes on line so I will log on and check the Fonciere demand . |

Interesting to learn that In France the foncière rate appears to be feminine whereas in Jersey I pay foncier (masculine) rate as well as occupier (pronounced as in French)rate. Are more landowners in France known to be female and does France also have 'occupier' rates? |
