The installation of an electric vehicle charging station remains eligible for the tax credit until 2025. However, it was destined to disappear by the end of the year.
Good news for French people who want to install an electric vehicle charging system in their main residence. The tax credit, which was not to be renewed at the end of this year, was extended for two additional years as part of the finance law for 2023. The benefit now runs until 2025. Clubic you explains everything.
An amount capped at 300 euros per charging station
All taxpayers – tenants or owners – domiciled in France from a tax point of view can benefit from a tax credit if they have an electric vehicle charging station installed in their main or secondary residence, within the limit one charging system per dwelling for a single person, and two charging systems per dwelling for a couple subject to joint taxation.
It is possible to equip both your main residence and your secondary residence, if you have one. On the other hand, be careful, if you have several secondary residences, you will have to choose one and only one. You will also have to be the only one who benefits from the accommodation. If you rent your secondary accommodation seasonally, it will therefore not be eligible.
The amount of this tax credit is equal to 75% of the amount of the expenses, which includes the purchase price and the installation costs. The State caps the benefit at 300 euros per charging system and per dwelling if you are a single person, and at 600 euros if you live as a couple and install two charging stations.
Keep your invoice (and make sure that all the information related to the installation is there)
To receive this tax credit, it is imperative to indicate the amount of the expenses in your tax return. If your expenses were paid in 2022, you will have to declare them this year, in April. It is recommended that you keep all proof of expenses, in case the tax authorities ask you for them.
On the invoice, make sure that the professional who carried out the installation clearly indicates the place where the work was carried out, the nature and technical characteristics of the charging systems, as well as the amount. The work can be invoiced before December 31, 2025 inclusive thanks to the extension of the tax credit for two additional years.
Finally, an important clarification: if ever the expenses incurred are reimbursed to you within 5 years, whether all or part of them, the tax authorities require you to return the tax credit, except if the reimbursement occurs after a claim in your accommodation.
