Charlotte Baris: Brown tax loopholes. And when we talk about taxes, we often call on Thibault Marotte, journalist in the Economy department of L’Express. First Thibault, can you remind us what a tax loophole is?

Thibault Marotte: A tax loophole, very simply, is a tax advantage that allows a person, a company or a given sector to pay less taxes compared to other taxpayers.

Charlotte Baris: And so what is the particularity of a “brown” tax niche?

Thibault Marotte: It is a tax niche which concerns fossil fuels, therefore oil, gas, or even coal. Several sectors benefit from these brown tax loopholes. Construction, agriculture, transport… In construction, for example, companies are entitled to a reduced rate for non-road diesel used for construction machinery. A reduction in tax revenue estimated at 1.2 billion euros in 2023.
