Fanny has been a liberal nurse for four years. She travels 100 km every day, the equivalent of four full tanks per month. She suffered the full force of the increase in the price of gasoline. “A year ago, I paid my full 65 euros, now we are at almost 75 euros, sometimes even 80 euros”, she explains. Each year on her tax sheet, she reduces real expenses, costs related to the use of her car. Thanks to government assistance, she will be able to deduct more. For example, for her 7 horsepower vehicle and her more than 18,000 km per year, she will pay 200 euros less tax.
