Interesting news reported by The Connexion, which has been producing French news in English for nearly 25 years, to update us on what is known as the French 'garden shed' tax.
This taxe d’aménagement levy is imposed on a per m² basis for a variety of property improvements including garden offices/buildings, and has happily fallen a smidgeon over 4% for 2026, the first drop for nearly a decade as against annual rises (most recently 1.76% in 2025, 3.4% in 2024, and 8% in 2023)
The reason for the decrease is a bit complicated but essentially it's because it's not linked to inflation rates, but is based on a special construction cost index which is currently in favourable homeowner territory.
