Price at the pump in France is rising but nearly half of the amount paid is tax
Fuel prices in France are rising with many locations reaching the TotalEnergies limit of €1.99 per litre.
The cost of the fuel - whether petrol or diesel - itself only comprises 39% of the price paid at the pump, with an added 11.5% for distribution costs.
The other 49.5% are VAT (around 10% of total price), TICPE – a domestic tax on energy consumption (around 32.5%) – and its associated VAT (around 7%).
