The 10-centime per liter fuel rebate is now a thing of the past. For this new year, the government is implementing a new scheme reserved for modest households.
After its amount gradually decreased, the rebate at the pump granted to all French people officially ended on December 31, 2022. Instead, the government now offers a €100 aid… subject to income conditions. The details of the allocation were specified in a decree on January 2.
Verdict: only individuals living in households with a per-share income not exceeding €14,700 are eligible. The bonus will only be granted once, for a vehicle used “for professional purposes including commuting”. In the case of a modest working couple, the state will pay 2 x €100 if each partner uses a car. In total, approximately 10 million people could be eligible.
Applications must be submitted between January 16 and February 28, 2023. The form will be available online on impots.gouv.fr. The processing time is not specified.
The €100 will be directly deposited into the beneficiary’s bank account. “For a person who drives an average of 12,000 km/year, this represents assistance of about 10 cents per liter over the year”, estimates the government.
As with the energy check, the aid can also fund an electric vehicle. The decree states that electric vehicles are included in the scheme, which seems to mean that the €100 can also be used to finance recharges. It is estimated here that this could cover between 3 and 6 months of free charging depending on the model, for a mileage of 10,000 km/year.
A fuel voucher also granted to two-wheelers
The aid is not limited to motorists. People using two- or three-wheel electric vehicles will also be able to apply. This is significant because it can cover several months up to 3 years of free charging!
The cost of the measure has been estimated at around 1 billion euros. A figure to compare with the 8 billion euros allocated last year to fund the pump aid.
