Taxes paid on electricity may increase in a few weeks.
-10% on fire money! The announcement was made with great passion, in an unprecedented and light environment. While France has been traveling for weeks and the question of purchasing power is the main concern of the population, the arrival of autumn and winter with a decrease in temperatures is observed with fear by many families: the energy bill should slightly higher. month.
If we promise to reduce the amount that will be paid to Engie, TotalEnergies or others, there is a trick hidden behind it. Because what has not been said publicly is that a new tax on electricity may see the light of day and that all French people will pay. And this does not shout from all the hills.
The data is clear and clear: on an electricity bill, almost half of the value according to different tax, more or less high depending on your power. A colossal portion which is not about to be reduced.
We have actually advised to take a little more pressure from home wallets. Obviously it’s not presented that way, but the end result will be this. In fact, the State wants to ask EDF (the main electricity supplier) to pay additional taxes on nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams. Expected income: about 3 billion euros per year.
Unless EDF is clearly not going to pay for this out of its own pocket and should pass it on to customers, without their knowledge. In a few months, the cost of electricity alone will drop significantly. The right time to discreetly take care. This increase should be significant but will not prevent the overall price from falling.
Almost incognito sleight of hand, summarized by Fabien Choné, director of Direct Energie, in La Tribune: “Instead of paying less than at present, houses will pay a little less.” In what sizes? The question has not been resolved.
Actually, the project to create this new tax has not been guaranteed to succeed, but it is a method that is important by Gabriel Attal and Bruno Le Maire. The new Prime Minister Michel Barnier, at the head of the newly formed government, inherited the proposal. It remains to be seen whether Matignon’s new strongman, including the new Minister of Economy Antoine Armand, will approve it.
