Overview
- An online simulator went live Wednesday on impots.gouv.fr so workers can check if they qualify, with the application form opening May 27 for a two‑month window.
- The payment is €50, which the government frames as roughly €0.20 per litre based on average fuel use for April to June.
- Eligibility covers people with a reference tax income per share at or below €16,880 who drive more than 15 km each way for work or over 8,000 km a year, using a vehicle with a combustion engine rather than an electric model.
- Applicants must provide civil details, a tax ID, the vehicle registration and carte grise numbers, and an attestation of mileage; the aid is not automatic, is limited to one per vehicle, and is typically paid to the declared bank account about 10 days after approval.
- Authorities can verify claims against the insured‑vehicle registry, require recipients to keep proof for five years, and seek repayment with a 50% surcharge for deliberate breaches or 100% for fraud.
