Budget Minister Laurent Saint-Martin said he was “not in favor” of an increase in gas taxation on Saturday on TF1, while Minister of Ecological Transition and Energy Agnès Pannier-Runacher said on Friday that the government was going to propose it via an amendment to the finance bill.
Agnès Pannier-Runacher “said that there would perhaps be amendments on the increase in gas taxation,” said Laurent Saint-Martin on Saturday. He observed that the finance bill presented this week “does not contain an increase in gas taxation” and declared that he was “not in favor” of this possibility.
Friday, during a press point, Ms. Pannier-Runacher declared that “the challenge is also to work on brown niches through the increase in the automobile penalty, through the elimination of the reduced VAT rate at 5 .5% on the installation of fossil fuel boilers and finally, through a government amendment, through an increase in taxes on plane tickets and gas.”
This explanation given Friday morning by the minister has not been called into question by Matignon since.
