CHAPTER 2: STAMP DUTIES AND SIMILAR DUTIES Stamp duties (droits de timbre) are collected on the performance of certain administrative formalities or the drafting of certain documents; they are also a way of paying for the delivery of certain documents. They are generally paid by affixing a sticking stamp to a written document. I – STAMP DUTIES Stamp duty has to be paid in order to obtain many administrative documents, such as residence permits and passports, hunting permits and licences to drive motor pleasure boats. II – VEHICLE STAMP DUTY The level of polluting vehicle emissions has become a criterion for setting the amount of duty payable on documents relating to motor vehicles. A. TAX ON VEHICLE REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES 86 A tax (taxe sur les certificats d’immatriculation des véhicules) accruing to regional authorities is payable on automobile and other motor vehicle registration certificates, except where specifically provided otherwise by law. The regional tax on registration certificates may be fixed or proportional. Each year, the regional council sets the rate per unit of horsepower of the proportional tax payable on registration certificates issued within the region. The regional council may take a decision to exempt non-polluting vehicles or vehicles running on E85 ethanol from all or half of the tax. B. SURTAX ON THE MOST POLLUTING PRIVATE VEHICLES Vehicles that emit more than a certain level of carbon dioxide registered for the first time in France or elsewhere on or after 1 January 2008 may be liable to a tax in addition to the tax on registration certificates issued when they are first registered in France. The surtax (écopastille or malus) applies to private cars with EC type-approval 87 that emit more than 126 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre travelled (126 gr CO 2 /km). 88 The amount of the surtax ranges from €50 to €10,000 depending on the vehicle's pollution level. 86 Known as the “carte grise”. 87 EC type-approval certifies that a type of vehicle, system or equipment meets the technical specifications contained in the relevant EC directives. 88 Vehicles that emit less than 110 grams of CO 2 per kilometre are eligible for a “bonus”. 67 For vehicles that do not have EC type-approval, the tax depends on the fiscal horsepower (CV). Ranging from €2,000 to €10,000, it is payable on vehicles with a fiscal horsepower rating of more than 5 CV. Vehicles registered as "specialised motor vehicles" or disabled vehicles and vehicles registered by holders of an invalidity card are exempt from the tax. The CO 2 emission levels in the surtax scale are reduced by 20 grams for each dependent child as of the third. A 40% reduction in the CO 2 emission levels in the surtax scale is applied to vehicles specially equipped to run on E85 ethanol (flex-fuel vehicles) whose CO 2 emissions do not exceed 250 grams per kilometre.
