FUEL INDEMNITY. The form to claim the fuel aid of 100 euros should be available online from Monday 16 January. How it works ? We tell you everything.
[Mis à jour le 13 janvier 2023 à 10h07] It will soon be possible to claim your fuel aid of 100 euros! Indeed, from Monday 16 January, you will be able to go to the site of the taxes and complete the dedicated form. Bring your tax number, license plate number, gray card and a sworn statement that you use your vehicle to go to work. As a reminder, this new indemnity fuel takes over from the discount of 10 euro cents at the pump. It “concerns the 50% of the poorest households who need their vehicle (car, two-wheeler, three-wheeler, thermal and/or electric) to get to their place of work, i.e. those who are located in the first five deciles” indicates the official site of the French administration.
To benefit from this new fuel aid, it will be necessary to complete a form on the website of taxes 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
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 obtain this aid, it will be necessary to be able 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 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 of 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 grants ended on December 31, 2022. Here are the dates to remember for government aid:
- 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, 2022
- New fuel aid paid in early 2023
