Question 7457 — value added tax

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Florquin draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the upcoming increase in the value added tax (VAT) applied to electricity and natural gas subscriptions. Currently subject to the reduced rate of 5.5%, the fixed part of energy bills (i.e. the subscription) should be reclassified at the normal VAT rate, i.e. 20%, from August 1, 2025. This This development, driven by the European Union, will represent a significant increase in the burdens weighing on French households, in an already tense context of soaring energy prices and a crisis in purchasing power. It illustrates, once again, France's loss of fiscal sovereignty to the benefit of a European technocracy disconnected from social realities. It appears all the more unacceptable as this This increase will indiscriminately affect all households, including the most modest, for whom the cost of the subscription represents a significant part of the energy bill. He therefore asks whether the Government intends to oppose this injunction from the European Union and what measures it intends to take to protect the French against this unfair and arbitrary increase in energy taxes.
