Question 10923 — value added tax

Summary

Mr. Régis Juanico draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the consequences of the increase in value added tax (VAT) rates in certain sectors of activity. Many companies and professional building organizations have expressed their serious and legitimate concerns about a possible elimination of the reduced VAT rate for energy renovation work in buildings. In the sector of building, housing renovation work benefits from a rate of 10% for general housing renovation and 5.5% for energy renovation. Abolition of reduced VAT rates in this sector would go completely against the support for employment and growth which is essential in the current economic context. It would once again impact the purchasing power of the poorest households, or even would prove particularly disincentivizing. It would thus be particularly contradictory with the ambition displayed by the Government of “renovating 500,000 homes per year, half of which are occupied by low-income households”. While the fight against global warming must be one of the priorities of public action and it is urgent to fight against energy poverty in buildings, this measure would be totally inconsistent. Also, he would like the Government to clarify its intentions in this area and renounce the elimination of reduced VAT rates for energy renovation work.
