ICI Declaration and payment of ICI Tax

My ICI demand came automatically about 12 months after I moved in.The surprise to me was that although I had bought as prima casa (and paid 4% iva) the ICI still applies as my residency hasn't come through yet.I had been comfortably sitting back in the knowledge that I had 18 months in which to get residency, blissfully unaware that ICI was building up all the while I procrastinated.

Some commune [mine included] do not send out ICI notices at all - I have to go to the office to pick up a form and fill it in [including calculating the tax due (which is very easy to do)] I believe that you are liable for ICI until your residency is confirmed [as long as its your Prima Casa]
