- From 1 August 2025, France will charge a 20% VAT on all electricity supplies to align with European law. However, Bill No. 768, published on 23 June 2025, proposes reducing this VAT rate to 5.5% for energy, including electricity. The bill is currently at first reading in the Senate, and if approved, the reduced rate would apply retroactively from 1 August 2025. This aims to balance EU VAT alignment and consumer cost relief.
