The Decree of 8 May 2026 introduces exceptional aid for companies in the construction sector and public works using non-road diesel fuel. This measure was put in place following the rise in fuel prices in the context of the war in the Middle East. The benefit of this measure has just been extended until August 2026.

Following the increase in fuel prices, aid was introduced to reduce the cost of diesel fuel. It concerns companies in the building and public works sector not exceeding 50 employees (for the liter of non-road diesel invoiced in May, this aid was confined to companies with less than 20 employees). The annual turnover must be less than EUR 50 million and the balance sheet total must not exceed EUR 43 million for these companies. They must also not have unpaid tax debts in excess of €1500.

This grant is in the amount of 20 euro cents per liter of non-road diesel. This must have been invoiced between 1er June and June 30, 2026 included. This aid will remain limited to €4,000 by company.

In order to benefit from it, companies must make a request per form on the website impots.gouv.fr between the July 1 and 31, 2026 included.

Please note

Aid granted in excess of €600 shall be returned if thegross operating surplus for the fiscal year including May 2026 is:

  • positive;
  • and equal to or greater than 98% of that of the previous fiscal year.
