Question 7037 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Mathieu Lefèvre questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty on the consequences of the increase in social security contributions applied to the use of company vehicles. A decree published on February 28, 2025 provides for a substantial increase in the basis for calculating the benefit in kind linked to company vehicles, increasing the social security deduction rate from 30% to 50%. This revaluation, decided by regulation, without parliamentary debate or prior consultation with social partners or business representatives, arouses great incomprehension. Beyond its method of adoption, it is above all the direct impact on the purchasing power of the French which is of concern. The company vehicle cannot be considered as a simple benefit in kind: for many employees it constitutes - salespeople, real estate agents, traveling technicians, executives on the move - a work tool essential to the exercise of their profession. The revaluation of the benefit in kind increases their tax burden, without any real compensation. For example, for a medium-sized vehicle, the monthly deduction can increase from 150 euros to nearly 300 euros, representing a significant net loss for employees whose remuneration is based in part on the provision of this professional tool. Furthermore, this unilateral increase goes against the principles of stability and clarity of tax policy displayed by the Government. It contributes to maintaining a climate of regulatory instability, which is not conducive to the confidence of economic players. Also, he questions him on the reasons which motivated such a measure as well as on the possible adjustments or compensation envisaged to mitigate the negative effects on the employees and companies concerned.
