France Opens Online Registration for Expanded €100 Fuel Aid

Targeting long-distance commuters, the measure could lower pump costs when paired with planned releases of state fuel reserves.

Overview

  • New applicants can register on impots.gouv.fr for the €100 October–December payment, with online enrolment opening Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
  • The scheme has been widened to cover 5.5 million people and now includes a 2024 taxable reference income cap of €22,770 per share alongside existing commute and vehicle rules.
  • Workers who already received the April–September payment will get the new €100 transfer automatically without taking further steps.
  • Once a request is validated, the tax authority says payments will be made within about ten days and the application checks confirm distance, vehicle type and tax status.
  • Bercy says the aid plus an expected retail price drop from releasing strategic stocks amounts to roughly €0.40 per litre and the measure is presented as a short-term relief for households facing high fuel bills.
