Lucky are those who have only just received demands for social tax, which was invented some years ago when the unemployment rate was 15% - and seemed such a brilliant idea that they went on with it. I am a pensioner with an income below the tax level, but nevertheless I receive a huge bill at this time every year, which has to come out of my savings account. This year & last the amount was 1/3 less - not much comfort as it exactly reflected the drop in my income, which comes from investments.
The tax office have always allowed me to pay in 2 instalments.
On a happier note : for all those who began to receive their state pension after they came to live in France, & who therefore do not get the fuel allowance, someone in Europe has said it's unfair (which it is) & that from now it must be paid. Details & the demand form on Overseas Pensions, heating allowance.

I cannot see how you can pay social charges when your income is below the tax level Jenny. Unless it is on your investment income. (Are they charging social charge on your pensions ?) Have you had an accountant look at your accounts. I have come round to the fact that paying an expert is going to save you money in the long run.
JENNY says " yes it is on the investment income"
