2026 local tax relief for businesses affected by the summer 2026 wildfires
Businesses with fewer than 250 employees located in municipalities placed under lockdown or evacuated during the July-August 2026 wildfires (Gironde, Landes, Var) could obtain, on request, relief from CFE (business property tax), property tax, TEOM (household waste collection tax) and TFPNB (tax on undeveloped land) due for 2026. A drop in turnover of at least 20% between July and September 2026 would be required. Relief would be proportional to the drop between 20% and 50%, and total above that, net of insurance payouts.
