[Mis à jour le 25 janvier 2023 à 11h34] It is possible to claim your bonus fuel of 100 euros since January 16. However, the operation does not seem to be known to all. Indeed, on the 10 million beneficiariesonly 30% asked for their indemnity. So don’t wait any longer, the deadline for claiming this aid is February 28th. To qualify, your reference tax income must be less than 14,700 euros for one person in 2021. The process remains extremely simple, just fill in the online form thanks to your tax number, license plate number, gray card, a sworn statement that you use your vehicle to go to work, and you’re done. The payment will take place under eight to ten days.
To benefit from this new 2023 fuel allowance, it will be necessary to complete a form on the tax website available from January 16, 2023 with three elements:
- Your tax number
- Your license plate number and registration number
- A sworn statement that you use your vehicle to go to work

This “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 allowance is paid per person and not per household. Each member of a modest couple who uses their vehicle to go to their place of work can receive aid of 100 euros. A couple can therefore benefit from 200 euros of fuel aid in 2023. To obtain this aid, it is necessary to justify a reference tax income per share for the year 2021 less than or equal to 14,700 euros. 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 assistance:
- < 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
The amount of the fuel allowance is 100 euros for the year 2023. It can amount to 200 euros for a couple who works and 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.
The new fuel allowance worth 100 euros, the request for which is open from January 16, 2023, must be claimed before a deadline. Indeed, if you are one of the beneficiaries, you have until Tuesday, February 28, 2023to manifest yourself, by filling in the application form online.

The discount offered by Totalit went from 20 centimes to 10 euro cents, on the same schedule. These two grants ended on December 31, 2022. Here are the dates to remember for government aid:
