Taxing the “rich” and big businesses: the tax madness of the left held in check in the National Assembly
DECRYPTION - Last year, tax proposals for the wealthiest and large groups took center stage in budgetary debates. This year, the deputies of the ex-NFP are struggling to impose them.
It is not just the government that is seeing its budgetary ambitions undermined in the National Assembly. This Tuesday, left-wing groups suffered numerous setbacks over their aspirations to tax businesses more, especially the largest. In the Chamber, the deputies resumed examination of the tax part of the finance bill (PLF).
One article in the text particularly attracted the attention of groups from the former New Popular Front (NFP): the one which aims to renew the exceptional contribution on the profits of large companies - also called the corporate tax surcharge (IS). The government has actually included in its copy the partial extension of this tax which should make it possible to free up 5 billion euros next year (compared to more than 7 billion euros expected this year).
