Are energy companies going to have their wool cut from their backs again? It’s possible. The finance bill (PLF) for 2024, presented on Wednesday, does not contain any new exceptional tax targeting the “excess profits” of electricity producers or oil refineries. But an amendment to renew the contribution on inframarginal rent (CRIM) – which specifically targets electricians – should be tabled by the presidential majority. The government said it was in favor of it.
“If in their great wisdom, parliamentarians wish to extend it, I am open to it and so is the government. I welcome this reflection favorably,” declared Bruno Le Maire, the Minister of the Economy, during his hearing on Wednesday by the Finance Committee of the National Assembly. Voted in 2022, the CRIM was initially due to end on December 31, 2023. According to our information, the general rapporteur of the Budget, the Renaissance deputy Jean-René Cazeneuve, has planned to request its renewal in 2024.
