FUEL ASSISTANCE. The discount at the pump on fuels, it’s over. Make way for fuel aid from January 1, 2023 in the amount of 100 euros. A boost from the government under certain conditions. Here is all you need to know.
[Mis à jour le 1er janvier 2023 à 14h32] While the fuel pump discount ended on December 31, 2022, new aid fuel takes over on January 1, 2023. But it does not concern all French people. Indeed, the government wishes to continue to protect French people with modest incomes who need their car to go to work. Thus an indemnity of 100 euros will be paid from January 2023 to the 50% of the most modest French people. To benefit from it, it will be necessary to be able to justify a reference tax income per unit for the year 2021 less than or equal to 14,700 euros. About 10 million people are affected.
It should be noted that this aid will be paid per person and not per household, and that a modest couple whose two members use their vehicle to go to their place of work will therefore be able to receive 200 euros in fuel aid. Paid in one go, for 2023, this aid applies to any type of vehicle, including two-wheelers. To benefit from the fuel allowance in 2023, the French people concerned must identify themselves on the impots.gouv.fr website, via their tax number and their license plate.
The fuel aid will concern 50% of the poorest French households, who need their vehicle to go to work. This represents about 10 million people. The owners of two wheels will also be able to benefit from it, in the same way as the self-employed and civil servants. Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids will also be part of the scheme.
This compensation will be paid per person and not per household. Each member of a modest couple who uses their vehicle to go to their place of work will receive aid of 100 euros. A couple will therefore be able to benefit from 200 euros of fuel aid in 2023. To find out if you are eligible, here are the income limits put in place by the government to determine the beneficiaries of this exceptional aid:
- < 1,314 euros net/month for a single person
- < 3,285 euros net/month for a couple with one child
- < 3,285 euros net/month for a single person with two children
- < 3,941 euros net/month for a couple with two children
- < 5,255 euros net/month for a couple with three children
To benefit from this new fuel aid, it will be necessary to complete a form on the site impots.gouv.fr with :
- Your tax number
- Your license plate number and registration number
- A sworn statement that you use your vehicle to go to work
The aid will then be paid directly, all at once, into your bank account, without any additional steps.
The fuel allowance will be an amount of 100 euros for the year 2023. It may amount to 200 euros for a working couple whose two members use their vehicle to go to their place of work. This represents a gain of 10 euro cents per liter of fuel, on average, for someone who travels 12,000 kilometers per year, which is the average French person.
As planned by the government, the fuel discount of 30 euro cents per liter has been reduced to 10 euro cents from November 16 to December 31, 2022. The discount offered by Totalit went from 20 centimes to 10 euro cents, on the same schedule. These two aids will end as of January 1, 2023. The government rebate concerns fishing diesel, non-road diesel (GNR), gasoline (SP95, SP98-E5, SP-95-E10), liquefied petroleum gas fuel (LPG-c), vehicle natural gas (CNG ) in compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) form, superethanol (E85) and diesel ethanol (ED95). Here are the dates to remember:
- Fitness 30 euro cents from September 1 to November 15, 2022
- Fitness 10 euro cents from November 16 to December 31, 2022
- Deleted from December 31, 2023
