Up to 100% of VAT on petrol incurred in France can now be recovered. That means VAT recovery opportunities are equivalent to those pertaining to diesel. 100% of VAT on petrol used for commercial vehicles, and 80% of VAT on passenger vehicles, can now be reclaimed.
In contrast to VAT on diesel, up until 2016, it was not possible to claim back any VAT on the purchase of petrol for vehicles. Since then, the recoverable amount has steadily increased.
