Question 16042 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Fabrice Brun draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the freezing of fuels. Article 64 of the finance law for 2019, following an amendment adopted in the Senate, repealed the trajectory of increased taxation on fuels planned for the years 2017 to 2022, in order to respond to the strong concerns about purchasing power expressed by the French. However, in a major national daily, the Minister declared on January 15, 2019 that this freeze could be called into question after the national debate desired by the President of the Republic to respond to the social crisis experienced by our country. The unprecedented increase in fuel taxes was one of the triggers of the crisis the country is going through. Return to this freeze, which was a first measure of responsible appeasement and a gesture towards those whose power purchasing is reduced and who have no other option to travel, to get to their place of work other than the car, would constitute a new provocation. This is why he asks him to clarify the Government's intentions regarding the freezing of taxes on fuels.
