Question 13584 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Matthieu Bloch draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the opportunity to reintroduce a floating TIPP mechanism in order to mitigate the effects of volatile fuel prices for households and businesses. Indeed, in a context marked by strong fluctuations in international oil prices, many French people, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas, remain particularly dependent on their vehicle for their daily travel. This situation directly affects the purchasing power of households as well as the competitiveness of many professionals, craftsmen, transporters, farmers or construction contractors, whose activity is largely based on the use of fuels. The increase in prices at the pump is also amplified by the weight of taxation, in particular the internal consumption tax on energy products (TICPE), which constitutes a significant part of the final price paid by consumers. In this context, several economic players and representatives of the territories are calling for the reestablishment of a “floating TIPP” mechanism, making it possible to temporarily adjust the level of taxation according to changes in oil prices, in order to smooth out the sudden increases for consumers. Such a system, already tested in the past, could constitute a one-off regulatory instrument aimed at protecting the purchasing power of the French while providing greater predictability to economic actors most exposed to the volatility of energy prices. Also, he asks him if he is considering the establishment or study of a floating tax mechanism on fuels and, where applicable, what could be the terms and conditions of application of such a system in order to support households and professionals in the face of variations in energy prices.
