Further
to last week’s report on the new procedure for immatriculating cars, the
changeover for Tarn et Garonne is Monday 6th November 2017. From that date
onwards, Montauban Préfecture will not process the paperwork and you will be
required to do it on-line or via an authorised agent (who presumably does
exactly the same as you would do, but for a fee). Until the changeover the
Préfecture will be providing the service on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays,
from 8.30 to 12.00.
For those of us with cars registered overseas who are intending to immatriculate them here, you will still need a "quitus fiscal" as proof from the taxman that TVA/VAT has been paid on the car. In Tarn et Garonne this cannot be done on-line or by post, and requires a trip to the Centre des Impôts office in Montauban (now 30 rue du Danemark). Although you are probably an individual rather than a business, you need to go to the 1st floor, following the sign for Service des Impôts des Entreprises as this is the office which deals with TVA/VAT.
Bon courage, anyone embarking on the process!
