“The tax must awaken the affiliation”: the French will be consulted on how to spend the money from the taxes

The government will launch a consultation with taxpayers so that “every Frenchman can say” how he wants the state to spend tax money, Delegate Minister for Public Accounts Gabriel Attal said Thursday morning.

The exercise, which will involve both online and face-to-face consultations with the French, should allow them to “express themselves”, the government committing to “be inspired” by the ideas that will emerge “in the next budget texts”. “.

Launch of a platform.

“I will launch this series of dialogues” on April 25 during a trip with the Minister of Public Services, Stanislas Guerini, said Gabriel Attal. The consultation is part of an “unpublished” operation of the Ministry of Public Accounts, entitled “En avoir pour mes taxes”.

As part of this operation, the government wants to launch in “a month at most” a platform “that will allow the French to know exactly what their taxes are spent on,” explained Gabriel Attal. With the declared objective of “transparency”, “the French will be able to know how much a kilometer of road costs, a TER station”, he explained. “The tax should encourage membership,” hammered Gabriel Attal.
