The French General Directorate of Public Finance has opened a consultation on changes to the VAT rate application for services related to energy renovation and solar equipment installation. The proposed measures include applying a reduced 5.5% VAT rate for qualifying energy renovation services in residential premises over two years old, with new criteria effective January 1st. Additionally, the proposal seeks to exclude the supply or installation of fossil fuel boilers from both the 5.5% and 10% reduced VAT rates starting March 1st. The consultation also covers the extension of certain VAT benefits.
