Here again the subject was returned to CMP

This time, Jean-Pierre Raffarin (UMP), the "frondeur" with the majority on the reform of the tax, it is time. Absent in the review by the Senate of the part concerning the abolition of this tax, former Prime Minister intervened Saturday on the debate on the compensation for local communities, namely two new contributions from businesses, land and value added. "The terms of this debate do us meet not at all", he attacked, regretting there has not been previously "economic debate.

"We will talk about added value, is that really the investment and business tax are the causes of the relocations, I'm not sure at all. (...) I am not in a position today of whether value added is a better base for the future of our economy. I wonder if in five years is not considered again this idiot tax contribution because it penalizes the value of the future", he told, also regretting that there is"out of a debate on decentralization." Does play the card of the responsibility of the elect If Yes, should be local rates for local taxes. If local taxes with a national rate (this is the case of the contribution value added, Editor's note), it nationalized the local tax.

Terms of revoyure

Senator of the Vienna however approved the terms of strict revoyure proposed by the Finance Committee to adjust the reform, July 31, 2010 and after the vote on the reform of the community in 2011. He also welcomed the distribution of the tax device, completely rewritten. Christine Lagarde has reminded the former Prime Minister that the Government was "much inspired Fouquet report published in 2004 under your authority, which concluded that value added was the least bad for a new contribution". The Minister of the economy also given the green light to the new distribution of revenues, which is equal all communities, they attract small or large businesses ("Les Echos" from December 2). They will have resources depending on the value added of the undertakings present on their territory: regardless of their sales, they carry a local tax at the rate of 1.5. But they will be return the amount that they should not pay via rebates (3.77 billion). "We strive to define the architecture of a new local tax", said Philippe Marini (UMP), rapporteur of the budget.

"Both shackled feet."

"Tribute" in this work, Christine Lagarde has nevertheless attempted to amend the say-positive by transforming the tax reduction rebate and lowering the rate from 1.5 to 1.4 (for companies with turnover less than 10 million) for this calculation. "Under a mountain of roses, the Government seeks to demolish the work of the commission, to reduce the amount of the allowance paid by the State", criticized Michel Charasse (RDSE). In fact, the State will have to pay rebates increasing each year at the rate of GDP, whereas holdings have grown, in the best cases, at the pace of inflation. Holding "inexplicable" amendment, Jean Arthuis, Chairman of the Finance Committee, received from the Government that he withdraws. But the subject will be on the menu of the joint mixed Committee (7 members, 7 senators). Similarly, Christine Lagarde had to withdraw an amendment restoring a co-payment for communities, too under the rate of land assessed, leading companies to exceed the ceiling of 3 (for the land contribution and added value added). Here again, the subject was returned to CMP.

To the left, the mass is so-called: PS senators yesterday denounced a "fatal blow to the decentralization", believing that "the fall of the fiscal autonomy of the communities is confirmed and even worsened" and that the tax relief granted to companies weigh to final household. "You had already boulet Tepa (law on fiscal overtime and the tax shield, Editor's note);" "with the TP boulet, your two feet are hampered", launched Nicole Bricq (PS).
