Explained: The 2025 tax rebate rates for work travel in France
Briefly

The article discusses the BIC fuel expenses scale, which is updated yearly by tax authorities and determines the cost per kilometre for tax deductions related to vehicle use for both personal and professional purposes. Taxpayers can claim this deduction during their income tax declarations due in April. While only fuel costs are eligible for deductions, motorists must justify their claims with mileage records. Recent updates indicate reductions in the allowed rates for petrol and diesel cars compared to the previous year.
This rebate takes into account only fuel expenses (diesel, petrol, LPG) - other expenses, such as vehicle maintenance or insurance are deductible upon justification.
The vehicle deduction is just one of the many expenses that can be claimed as a tax credit when you do your declaration, among others are costs for a nanny, childminder or cleaner.
Be aware that you must be able to justify the number of kilometres claimed for as well as the use of the vehicle for the needs of the professional activity.
The bad news for motorists eligible for this rebate is that the rates for this year's returns are lower than last year for petrol and diesel cars and two-wheel vehicles.
