Alléger le taux de la taxe sur la valeur ajoutée applicable aux frais d’obsèques

This is a French bill proposed in the National Assembly to reduce the value added tax (VAT) rate applied to funeral services and related costs. Based on its title alone, it would lower the tax charged on burial and cremation expenses. The full text was not reviewed, so the exact scope, rate and conditions are unknown. Families arranging funerals in France would be most directly affected, since they pay these costs at the time of a bereavement. Funeral service providers would also be affected by any change to the tax treatment of their services. The proposal would need to pass through Parliament before taking effect.
