Question 22068 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the double taxation which affects fuel and electricity, thus constituting a double fiscal penalty for consumers. Indeed, VAT applies to certain taxes paid by the French. Thus, when the motorist buys fuel, he pays the domestic consumption tax on energy products (TICPE), which represented in 2018, 60 to 70 cents per liter depending on fuel. Tax to which is added the VAT which is applied to the TICPE. According to estimates from UFC-Que Choisir, in 2018, French individuals paid 4.6 billion euros in VAT on energy-related taxes. Thus, for a liter of gasoline, motorists pay on average 14 cents in VAT on the TICPE. As for average heating bills, double taxation amounts to 62 euros per year for households heated with oil, 56 euros for those using electricity and 31 euros for those heated with gas. In view of the considerable increase in fuel prices in recent months, and in view of the fiscal aberration represented by this double taxation, he asks whether the Government intends to put an end to all VAT subjection of taxes and contributions on energy in order to restore purchasing power to French.
