Thanks to them, we will see together all these developments that concern you. They are all the more important as they will have an impact on your budget. Between tax deadlines, revaluations of certain salaries and fluctuations in energy prices, the changes are notable.
In December, don't forget taxes
Who says end of year, necessarily means that you have to pay several taxes. And therefore, unfortunately, losing money. In December, you must therefore pay your property tax and your housing tax. If you wish to pay these taxes monthly from January 2025, you must make the request before December 15.
If you pay these taxes every month, be aware that the last monthly payment of the property tax will be December 16. It is also the day that marks the payment limit for housing tax. Online payments, however, benefit from a reprieve until December 21.

This aid amounts to €152.45 for a single person, €228.67 for a household of two people and €274.41 for a household of three people.
In addition, from December 1, consultations with private doctors will see their prices increase. The price of a consultation with a general practitioner increases from €26.50 to €30, while that for children increases to €35.
Expenditure will continue, unfortunately, in December. In fact, the benchmark price of gas will undergo a further increase in December. It will reach €40.33/MWh compared to €37.79/MWh in November.
What about unemployment insurance?
Initially, the new rules concerning unemployment insurance were to come into force on December 1, 2024. But, we are not telling you, French political life has been moving on a thread for months. It must be said that last June, following the results of the European elections, Emmanuel Macron opted for a dissolution of the National Assembly.

So, these rules, which provide for tougher access to compensation, will not see the light of day in December. And for good reason, we note the absence of the publication of a decree about them. The current compensation conditions therefore remain in force until further notice.
The unemployed therefore obtain an attractive period of time. They can take advantage of this, because it's about to change in the future. In fact, the government is not putting aside this reform. In 2025, it should therefore logically see the light of day.
