Who can get this help?
This fuel allowance represents a discount of around 10 cents per liter at the pump if you do about 12,000 kilometers a year, which is the French average, estimates Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne. This boost is paid to households who drive to work and whose income is in the first five deciles of income, i.e. a reference tax income of less than 14,700 euros in 2021. It should be noted that a claimant can only benefit from a single allowance. Similarly, the same vehicle cannot give rise to the payment of several indemnities.
