Question 11200 — value added tax

Summary

Mr. Jean-Louis Masson draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the risk of calling into question the reduced VAT rate for energy renovation work in buildings. In fact, reduced VAT in construction is not a “gift” given to businesses but rather tax assistance provided to individuals when they carry out energy renovation work. The plan to combat energy poverty among recently announced plans to renovate in ten years the 1.5 million thermal sieves inhabited by low-income owner households. With this in mind, the Government has set itself the objective of financially supporting 150,000 renovations of this type each year. The possible abolition of reduced rate VAT for energy renovation work calls this objective into question. If the VAT rate increases, prices will automatically increase, penalizing the poorest households. This is why he asks him to kindly indicate to him the merits of this decision and its articulation with the necessary assistance to be provided to individuals who wish to carry out energy renovation work as well as safeguarding the employment of construction companies.
