Question 11448 — value added tax

Summary

Mr. Benoit Simian draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the possible questioning of the reduced rate VAT for energy renovation work on buildings. Reduced VAT in construction is tax assistance provided to customers and real support for the purchasing power of households when they carry out renovation work. The plan to combat energy poverty in buildings unveiled on April 26 last, sets itself the objective of renovating in 10 years 1.5 million thermal sieves inhabited by low-income owner households. The objective is to financially support 150,000 renovations of this type each year. This ambitious plan will not succeed if the VAT rate on the work concerned were to increase. This would result in an increase in prices, an increase that the least well-off households could not afford. follow, then giving up on undertaking this energy renovation work on their homes. This measure would also have negative consequences for construction companies and would inevitably lead to increased recourse to illegal and undeclared work. However, the construction sector is already particularly impacted by unfair competition (non-compliance with the rules of direct posting, etc.). Also, he wishes know the Government's intentions in this matter.
