However, empirical studies have demonstrated the limited effects of these measures at a high cost.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, in the face of the energy shock and inflation, a cut in VAT on energy appears less effective than other instruments such as the tariff shield or the energy voucher.<\/p>\n<p>The CPO therefore believes that the adoption of new reduced VAT rates should be avoided in favor of other tools to pursue economic, environmental and public policy objectives, such as targeted transfers, excise duties, the emission allowance system or regulatory standards.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;rgba(17,154,178,0.59)&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;33%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;5px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Quicksand||||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#666666&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reduced rates with uncertain consequences<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Once introduced, the impact of reduced VAT rates on the sectors concerned is not analyzed. No detailed economic evaluation exists for the reduced VAT rates of 5.5%.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, when studies do exist showing the ineffectiveness of reduced rates, no conclusions are drawn. For example, a 2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insee.fr\/fr\/statistiques\/1381057\">INSEE study<\/a> estimated that only 20% of the VAT cut in the restaurant sector would be passed on in prices. Similarly, the 2016 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccomptes.fr\/sites\/default\/files\/EzPublish\/20161108-efficience-depenses-fiscales-developpement-durable.pdf\">Cour des Comptes report<\/a> concluded that the 10% rate applicable to non-energy home improvements was not efficient. However, these reduced rates are still applicable.<\/p>\n<p>In the interests of transparency and performance, the CPO therefore recommends that no new reduced rates be introduced, and that existing reduced VAT rates be more closely monitored and evaluated by the CPO or an ad hoc body.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the results of these analyses, ineffective reduced rates should be eliminated or raised to a higher rate.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faced with inflation, the energy crisis and environmental challenges, there is a strong temptation to implement general or targeted VAT cuts.
