Fuel prices: What are the economic benefits of the new government aid?

Faced with the inflation of prices at the pump, the government decided to come to the aid of the French. First with the inflation check and now with the increase in the scale for calculating the mileage allowance. The latter will come to the aid of 2.5 million French people who are forced to take their car to go to work.

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.
