On the 2006 Impot sur les Revenus, ( No 1534) I had an Abattement spécial de 10 % deducted from my gross revenues which then gave me my Revenu Brut Global from which my tax was calculated.

On the 2005 Impot sur les Revenus the abatement was 10% and a further 20% after the 10% had been deducted.

I am assuming that the 20% deduction was phased out last year under a more simplified method.

Is the single 10% now also being phased out? (There is no mention of these Abattements in your article).

Your comments would be appreciated.

The 10% abattement is being retained. The other, as you say, was phased out due to the revamping of the tax bands and rates.

If you missed the April edition, the helpsheet is available from the site by clicking here, priced €5.
