Is a highly political topic of the tax shield

To the criticism over the past 48 hours, François Fillon has posted a very firm position, yesterday in Nice, on the end of the tax year of a change in marital status (marriage, pacs, divorce, pacs). Today, a couple pays less tax the year of his marriage because it performs a triple return (two as a single for income before marriage, one of torque for those on), which allows to find themselves in lower tax brackets.

"I hear many complaints against the decision to remove the advantage of the tax authorities for a wedding, a pacs or divorce, it seems to me that it restore fairness, said the Prime Minister during the Parliamentary Centre.". This niche tax benefits to those taxpayers to tax on income at significant levels, and therefore the less advantaged did derive no benefit. Is it fair Need be recalled that each must be imposed equally according to his ability to pay Let this simple principle, as the challenge to this niche has the advantage of not prejudice by nature no acquired situation.

Niche hunt continues

In fact, only unions and breaks from January 2011 will be affected. Newlyweds, the year of their marriage, will have to choose between a double statement separated on all of their income, or a single statement of income for the couple. For divorcees, there must be two separate statements to avoid disputes. The Government expects 500 million euros of additional revenue in 2012(ilyaundécalaged'unan). Bringing "at least 12.5 billion" gains on fiscal and social niches in 2012, after "almost 10 billion in 2011". Like the measure on marriages, some decisions that will be voted this fall will not impact before 2012 (plane 10 coup) or will see their effects go growing (photovoltaic).

This does not mean that niche hunting will be finite for all. Under the Act of programming of fiscal 2011-2013, which will be also presented by the Council of Ministers next Wednesday, the Government should, according to our information, set a new target encrypted - several billion euros-, reductions of niches to vote in the fall of 2011 (without specifying their nature). This will contribute to compliance with the commitment to a return of the public deficit to 4.6 of GDP in 2012, after 6 in 2011 and 7.8 this year.

Is a highly political topic of the tax shield. François Fillon, yesterday spoke of possible developments but not in the 2011 budget. As the Elysee, it links the folder the Franco-German progressive approximation, which could be immediate translation. "It is in this perspective that we must think about the future of our taxation, and a fortiori, of the tax shield", was launched. Knowing that the Germany no longer shield or wealth tax. In a TNS Sofres for "The world" survey, 47 of the interviewees themselves favourable (35 unfavorable) the deletion of the ISF and the shield, accompanied by an increase in the rate of tax on income for the more affluent. This is the schema defended by many UMP parliamentarians. 54 of survey respondents say otherwise conducive to the removal of the shield, against 37 of the negative opinion.
