French people will pay more for some food items, including sodas, as well as books and museum visits. Bills for restaurants, hotels and in-house services, such as house cleaning and repairs, will also be more expensive in 2012.
Basic food items, such as water, non-alcoholic beverages, fruits and vegetables will continue to be taxed at 5.5% in France. Hard alcohol and other food products that are not considered basic necessities will be taxed at 7% in an effort to plug the country's budget deficit.
