With rising gas prices, bills are reaching an all time high for consumers.
The bills have never been higher for the French. On the 12/13 set, David Boéri talks about the increase in the price of gas. “Gas subscribers pay above all for the sharp rise in wholesale prices on the markets. In Europe, they have climbed 24% since last January, as for oil. Gas has followed the price of a barrel. The domestic tax on consumption increased by 44%. This tax aims to penalize carbon dioxide emissions, it will increase by 22% next January. Its increase has been continuous for four years now, but it was offset by the drop in gas prices in the markets. All taxes today represent a quarter of the price paid by consumers. “, according to David Boeri.
The invoices will reach the highest historical level, already reached in 2012. The journalist continues: “For a family of four who use gas for heating, cooking and hot water, this is € 63 more than last year. The record could be broken as early as next year if the price of gas continues to increase in world markets. ”
