A magic box in the tax return which reduces your taxes, a new energy check distributed to 6 million households, the improved repair bonus… Here are the 5 unmissable news of the week for your money.
The magic box that reduces your taxes
With the single lump-sum withdrawal, the interest on your savings is taxed, by default, at a single rate of 30%. A godsend if you pay a lot of taxes. But if you are little or not taxable, it is possible to waive it in the 2022 income declaration. A choice that allows several million households to pay less tax! Here’s why.
The trap box that disappeared from the tax return
The 2023 income tax return has a good surprise in store for you since the 0RA box which in principle cost you 138 euros has disappeared. It corresponded to the TV license fee abolished since last year. Nearly 23 million households were liable for this tax, but some paid it when they were exempt. Explanations.
New energy check
Since Friday, the 2023 version energy check has been sent to around 5.8 million households for an amount ranging from 48 to 277 euros, depending on the income of the beneficiaries. This check is distributed automatically and allows you to pay your electricity, gas or wood bill. All the details of this aid can be found here.
A high repair bonus
Good news for consumers. The amount of the repair bonus for electrical and electronic devices will be significantly increased in July. This system is supposed to encourage more households to have these products repaired via aid ranging from 10 to 45 euros depending on the product. For example, it will go from 10 to 20 euros for small appliances (hair dryer, etc.) or 90 euros for computers. Here are the details.
