Professional Fuel Tax Refund: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Commercial fishers in France can claim a partial refund on the domestic consumption tax paid for diesel fuel used in their work.

This scheme allows commercial fishers to reclaim a portion of the consumption tax paid when buying diesel fuel for their vessels.

Who it's for

This refund is specifically for commercial fishers who use diesel fuel for their professional activities.

What you get

You can receive a partial refund of the domestic consumption tax (TICPE) that was included in the price of the energy products you purchased for your work.

What it costs you

While there is no direct fee to apply, you must provide detailed fuel invoices and maintain accurate logbooks to prove your usage.

The catch to know

Refunds are not issued immediately; they are processed on a quarterly basis. It is essential to keep all your receipts and documentation organized to ensure a smooth process.

How to apply

  1. Collect all fuel invoices related to your professional diesel usage.
  2. Ensure your vessel logbooks are up to date and accurate.
  3. Submit your documentation to the relevant authorities during the quarterly period.
