Hot flash on gas boilers. A decree published in the Official Journal on December 24 modifies the VAT rate in force to bring it from 5.5% to 10% on January 1, 2025.

The idea is obviously still in the air. “By decree, we can only move from one reduced rate to another reduced rate,” indicates the Ministry of Ecological Transition. West France.
