1is December rhymes with fir tree, Advent calendar, but also, changes. And yes, at the start of each month, there is a lot of new stuff. actu.fr looks at what to expect from December 2024 for your wallet, but not only.
Increase in gas prices
We start with news that is not a Christmas present: gas prices will increase. The energy regulation commission (CRE) predicts that the price of MWh will increase from 37.79 euros in November to 40.33 euros, i.e. 2.5% increase.
The salary scale in the hotel and catering industry revised upwards
Good news for those working in the hospitality sector. The sector's salary scale is revised upwards, with application from December 1st.
According to a decree of November 5, 2024 and an amendment of June 19, 2024, the conventional minimums are revised upwards, above the minimum wage. When, since November 1, 2024, the gross hourly minimum wage is 9.40 euros, the lowest gross hourly salary in the hotel and catering industry will now amount to 12 euros.
Last day to correct your tax return
If you've been telling yourself for weeks that you need to correct your tax return online: it's really time to do it.
As we indicated in a previous article, you have until December 4, 2024 to do it online. To do this, you must log in to your particular space and click on “Access online correction”. Once the correction has been made, a new tax notice will be issued after processing the corrective declaration.
If you forget to correct, you can invoke the right to make an error, but remember that a false declaration is punishable up to 500,000 euros fine and five years of imprisonmentas we wrote in a previous article.
Last tax payments
On its website, the Ministry of the Economy recalls all the payment deadlines for this month of December:
• December 16: monthly deduction for all monthly taxes (in the event of an increase in your tax in 2024).
• December 16: deadline for paying housing tax on second homes if you do not use an electronic payment method.
• December 16: deadline for payment of the tax on vacant housing and the housing tax on vacant housing if you do not use an electronic payment method.
• December 21: deadline for online payment of housing tax.
• December 21: deadline for online payment of the tax on vacant housing and the housing tax on vacant housing.
• December 27: 4th tax collection.
Correction of the advance for tax reductions and credits
If you use a home help or a childminderyou are entitled to income tax reductions or credits.
A advance of 60% of these credits will be paid in January 2025. This is based on your 2023 expenses, which you declared in 2024. If the deposit you received is too high, it will be refunded to you.
As we specified in a previous article, you therefore have until December 12 to make all changes.
To do this: simply go to your “Individuals” area on impots.gouv.fr, in the “Manage my withholding tax” section, “Manage your tax reduction and credit advances” menu.
Payment of the Christmas bonus
It’s a financial boost that is good for the two million French people who will receive it. The Christmas bonus will be paid this year Tuesday December 17, 2024.
The Christmas bonus is paid automatically to people eligible to benefit from it.
A single person without children will receive 152.45 euros. On the other hand, a single person with a child will receive 228.67 euros.
A person in a couple without children will receive 228.68 euros and a person in a couple with 1 child will receive 274.41 euros.
To pay monthly local taxes for next year, it's now
If you pay council tax and property tax, you may be considering paying this expense monthly for next year.
In this case, you have until December 15 for withdrawals to begin in January, as recalled on the impots.gouv.fr website.
If you are late, don't panic. In fact, you have until December 31 to take the necessary steps, but in this case, the withdrawals will start in February, “with catching up on the January deadline”.
The monthly direct debit is a payment split over 10 installments (from January to October). The amount of each monthly payment corresponds to one tenth of the tax due for the previous year.
Opening of Parcoursup
From December 18“the 2025 training map” will be available on Parcoursup. High school students will be able to start find out about available training thanks to different presentation sheets. The criteria for accessing the training are indicated, but also the status of the training, tuition fees and the dates of the open days.
From this year, it will be possible to consult a section “View training access figures” to find “information on the profile of candidates admitted in previous years (bac series, academic level, choice of high school path)”.
Prices for medical consultations are increasing
Medical consultations from general practitioners and specialists will increase from December 22.
For example, a consultation with a general practitioner will take place from 26.50 euros to 30 euros. For children under 6 years old, the consultation will increase to 35 euros, compared to 31.50 euros currently.
Specialist consultations will also increase: count 55 euros for a psychiatrist or 37 euros for a gynecologist, before a further increase in June to 40 euros.
End of the “thermostat boost”
The government’s “Help Thermostat” system will end on December 31.
Not for lack of success, but because of the growing number of scams that have undermined this aid, as we wrote in a previous article.
The “Coup de Pouce thermostat” was intended for households wanting to “reduce their energy consumption and lower the amount of their energy bills”, in particular thanks to purchasing new connected radiator buttonsprogrammable and controllable remotely, room by room.
