Tax rebate for holiday home owners

• Are you a UK resident for tax purposes? Do you own a property available for holiday let in Europe? Do you make that property available for let? Did you purchase the property for more than £150,000? If you can answer yes to all of these questions, you may be eligible for a Capital Allowance Tax refund of around £10-15,000. We have teamed up with International Property Success who have arranged a no upfront fees scheme with a tax expert. The scheme is fully HMRC approved. The amount you can claim will vary according to the rate of tax you pay and the specifics of the property. Claims are administered swiftly. You will receive a report on your rebate, showing how much you can reclaim, in most instances within 8 weeks. International Property Success are advisers that specialise in the capital allowance field. They do not charge upfront fees - you only pay once your case has been approved by your accountant. Experience shows that unless an investor has access to the appropriate level of expertise it is rare for all available tax allowances to be identified which means that the majority of Investors are not claiming all the tax allowances they are entitled to. If you would like to find out if you are eligible for this tax break, please contact us immediately. Tax rules change frequently and can be withdrawn at any time. This rule will be reviewed in April.

Lorraine

Lorraine is the only region of France that shares its borders with 3 other European countries, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. Internally, the region borders Champagne to the west, Franche-Compté to the south and is separated by the Vosges mountain range from the east. It consists of the départements of Meurthe-et-Moselle, Moselle, Meuse and Vosges - though the eastern part of the Vosges département is actually in Alsace.

Lorraine is mostly rich farming country through which the rivers Meuse and Moselle flow. Outside the larger towns and industrial areas, Lorraine has maintained its natural beauty. The forested slopes of the Vosges, lead to the beautiful upland regions and quiet mountain lakes, which offer an abundance of activities. Water sports, including diving, sailing and fishing are complemented by golf-courses at Nancy, Combles, Vittel and Metz. There is also plenty of scope for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists in the enormous Vosges Regional Park, with its network of footpaths and trails.

Lorraine generally experiences long warm summers, with temperatures commonly reaching over 30 degrees - even well into Autumn. Winter is cold with good snow cover on the mountains and clear, sunny weather alternating with the rain and snow. The region is also famous for a few well-recognised brands including Vittel mineral water and Quiche Lorraine!
