In recent days, several people have deplored having received housing taxes intended for the wrong people. The unions recognize errors.
Big scare for a 21 year old student. The tax authorities are asking him for 1,944 euros. “When I received this, I was surprised, worried and scared.” explains Luigi Brasi. Immediately, the young man contacted the tax center to which he is attached through his mother’s tax household. The institution explains that it made a mistake in assimilating its student apartment to a second home. However, this type of accommodation is always subject to housing tax.
A new online service causing the bug
For several days, many people have testified on social networks that they have received this incorrect invoice. In the tax centers, the unions claim to receive numerous calls. These errors result from the implementation of a new mandatory online service for owners. “Owners declared tenants and also minor occupants of the accommodation. Some were taxed in error”, confides Damien Robinet, secretary general of Solidaires Finances publics. People targeted by these errors can contact 0 809 401 401.
