Once again the offensive comes from the majority itself

If the Government wanted to avoid difficult tax debates during the examination by the Parliament of the budgetary texts, it is missed. Once again, the offensive comes from the majority itself. Presenting yesterday in the Commission's laws as he chairs a un sur des le un rapport sur l' optimisation de la dépense publique on "des sur des le un rapport sur l' optimisation de la dépense publique le un rapport sur l' optimisation de la dépense publique le un report sur sur l' optimisation de la dépense publique optimization of public expenditure", Jean-Luc Warsmann (UMP) threw a beautiful pavement in the mare. And even more. At see the sponsor of the mission, the President of the National Assembly, Bernard Accoyer (UMP), noted that the MP had largely market on the beds of the other committees (finance, Social Affairs). Regardless, with its 53 proposals, Jean-Luc Warsmann wants to "open a public debate", and judge the situation of public finances sufficiently "serious" to break taboos on the right.

Fight against the social debt

The commission of laws particularly devotes a long chapter to "the fight against the social debt. She calls to withdraw the contribution to the reimbursement of the social debt (CRDS) of the tax shield. "The DRES differs from the tax." "Its only purpose is the social debt repayment", insists the rapporteur. No person shall therefore be exempt from payment, especially in the current "outstanding period". The shield tax version Sarkozy guarantees to any taxpayer that paid tax (CSG and CRDS) included does not exceed 50 of the income. Many UMP parliamentarians see need to exit the CSG and CRDS of the shield, not only because inevitably, it will be necessary to raise rates. But the Government does not hear.

Jean-Luc Warsmann suggests also transfer systematically to the amortization of the social debt fund any deficit found beyond 10 billion (the social security deficit is expected to more than 30 billion by 2010), by setting the Cades extra revenue to not extend the period of depreciation. At the forefront of these revenues include a "strong increase" of the taxation of stock options and a broadening of the base of the CSG (alignment of the DRES) to tax more games and sales of precious metals. Always in order to finance the Cades, the commission proposes to tax expenses for local communication, but also cars and housing of officials.

A shock proposal

Hunting tax niches, another subject that has shaken most recently relaunched with a shock proposal: "Reduce evenly by 10 the rate of reduction that provides each niche, with the exception of the research tax credit, to lower the total cost of the tax expenditure from 5 to 7 billion euros."Relief of loads of companies are not forgotten: they would be reserved to the "corporate citizens(selondelesdecritèressociauxetenvironnementauxàdéfinir).

The new Centre group has approved the report and indicated that he would propose the exclusion of the CSG, the DRES and local taxes in the calculation of the shield. While the President (PS) of the Board of finance, Didier Migaud, is shown "skeptical" about the future of these proposals, stressing that his UMP colleagues were "excellent in reports, but less good in the votes."
