Are you saying that you pay tax on the rental value irrespective of whether you rent it and then you pay tax on any rent you actually receive renting the place? | |

Yes, this is what happened to friends of ours. They declared their rental income as it was less than the notional value and thought this would lessen the tax due. In fact it had the reverse effect and the two were added together.
We also own a second place which we have rented. We have not received any tax bills as yet. Our friends are on a C permit, whilst we are Swiss, although I can't imagine this would make any difference.
