French MP Proposes Tax Breaks for Pet Owners

Aymeric Caron suggests tax incentives to ease the financial burden on pet owners, aiming to boost household budgets and animal welfare.

Aymeric Caron, an LFI-affiliated MP, introduced an amendment to the 2025 budget to reduce taxes for pet owners.
The proposal includes a €30 monthly tax credit per pet and a reduced VAT of 5.5% on pet-related products and services.
Animal shelters would benefit from a complete VAT exemption under Caron's plan.
The initiative aims to alleviate the average €900 annual cost of pet care for families and improve public health.
Despite potential rejection, Caron's proposal seeks to initiate a broader discussion on pet ownership costs in France.
