The statement by the Secretary-General of the Elysee, Claude Guéant, yesterday in "Le Figaro", whereby the Executive is "open to a review of tax and social niches" in the framework of the parliamentary debate, did not at this title, nothing trivial.
"Nicolas Sarkozy realizes well that the Finance Act is not satisfactory to the State and that it must be altered in the Parliament, including on the question of tax niches", said Philippe Marini (UMP), rapporteur of the budget in the Senate. "The Elysee wants to distraction." "If talking about tax niches, it is to not talk about the real problems, including debt," said for its part the MP Hervé Mariton (UMP).
A feared on the employment effect
Tax cuts will reach EUR 72.7 billion (excluding stimulus plan) next year, against 70.7 billion this year. And the overall ceiling decided last year to li - miter the tax reduction to 25,000 euros per household, plus 10 of taxable income, will have a more modest effect as hoped, since it will report that 22 million to the budget of the State ("Les Echos" of yesterday).
Field is therefore favourable to the opposition: "Reduce 1 the amount of tax niches generate more savings than the replacement of 34,000 employees in 2010", said Senator François Rebsamen (PS), which also proposes to reduce the overall ceiling of 25,000 to 15,000 euros.
His point of view is not very far from some heavy weight of the majority. Philippe Marini intends to propose to reduce the overall ceiling of 25,000 niches of 20,000 euros. "We can hardly do better at this stage, because we fear the effect on employment, and in particular on the employees home," justifies.
Philippe Marini also wishes to reduce the tax benefits to real estate investment, including tax relief for investment in tourism residences, it deems "unreasonable".
"Of the work of goldsmith".
Initiatives will be perhaps less numerous in the National Assembly, where Gilles Carrez (UMP), rapporteur of the budget, and Pierre Méhaignerie (UMP), Chairman of the Committee on Social Affairs, refuse harden ceilings voted last year, they not to enter into force next year. "We have the goldsmith work." Beware not to put the building on the ground! ", begs Gilles Carrez, well aware that hardening seduced a part of right-wing deputies.
"All those who want to tackle one by a niche will be planted." "It must focus on comprehensive measures," says Charles de Courson (new Centre), which proposes to reduce their envelope of EUR 5 billion next year. He suggests planing each device of 5, which would 3.5 billion euros. A highly sensitive measure, since it affects both the premium for the job than jobs at home. He also advocates limiting the exemptions from charges "fillon" in big business: reduction of between 1,000 and 2,000 employees, and 75 beyond.
For the Budget Minister, Eric Woerth, who was regularly prepared to reassess all niches, parliamentary debate is not a long quiet river.
