why Hendaye escapes the special equipment tax?
Particularly revealed in the Landes, where a town like Argelouse is the only one to be “tax-free” in the north of the department, these do not spare the Basque Coast. In the offices of the town hall of Hendaye, we smile, while claiming a certain discretion, just to not insult the future.
Here are the Hendayais exempted from this tax (which represents an estimated sum of 3 to 7 euros per year, for forty years, per taxpayer).
The reason is purely technical and quite administratively cold. The criteria for establishing this map are laid down by article 103 of the finance law: the cities concerned by the tax are those located less than an hour from a station served by the LGV, in this case, here , that of Dax.
The exact distance is calculated between the town hall and the station and the tool used is the public web portal, Geoportalwhich offers access to search services and visualization of geographic or geolocated data.
1h06 from the station
The report is without appeal: the town hall of Hendaye is estimated at 1 h 06 by car, from Dax station. Closest neighbour, Urrugne, unless lucky: 59 minutes. The inhabitants of the district of Béhobie, closer to the town hall of Hendaye than that of Urrugne will undoubtedly appreciate.
