As public debt exceeds 112% of GDP and the government prepares to launch a plan to reduce public spending, fears of tax increases are rising among households and businesses.
The postponement of the suppression of the CVAE production tax confirmed this Thursday morning by Bruno Le Maire makes even the business world fear a change of course by the executive after a reduction in taxation that began during the first five years (tax on companies , production tax, “single tax”, transformation of the ISF into IFI, etc.).
A bit of music that is permeating public opinion and that the Minister of the Economy wanted to interrupt this Thursday during a visit to the Fournier (Mobalpa) factory in Alex, near Annecy (Haute-Savoie).
No change in supply policy
Before listing the reductions already undertaken, such as the suppression of the housing tax, the television canon, the reduction of corporate tax, through the single flat rate of 30% and the reduction of income tax.
If he confirmed the promise of the Head of State to reduce the taxes that weigh on the middle classes by 2,000 million euros (without giving any clue), it is above all the companies that the boss of Bercy has asked to reassure Haute-Savoie.
However, a disappointment for businessmen who expected a definitive abolition of this tax next year.
However, the minister insists that the Government will follow a supply policy favoring the competitiveness of companies, work, simplification, reindustrialization and the reduction of public spending. And after the health crises and the inflationary increase, the State should limit its intervention in the economy.
