Official French Mileage Allowance Scale 2026 (DGFiP Guide)

The official French tax mileage scale (barème kilométrique DGFiP) enables employees opting for actual expenses (frais réels) and self-employed freelancers to deduct professional vehicle travel costs from taxable income.

How the Official Scale Works in 2026

The mileage reimbursement allowance is computed based on distance tiers and fiscal horsepower (CV):

• Tier 1 (Up to 5,000 km): Distance * Rate (e.g., 0.603€/km for 5 CV).
• Tier 2 (5,001 km to 20,000 km): (Distance * Rate) + Fixed Amount.
• Tier 3 (Over 20,000 km): Flat rate per km.

Bonus: Electric vehicles receive a +20% bonus on total deductible mileage allowances!
