Tax policy will be one of the major challenges of the 2012 presidential. Elected representatives of the majority have realized that the crisis had substantially changed the perception of the French measures taken at the beginning of the quinquennium. In the UMP as among the centrists, parliamentarians are increasingly likely to claim "adjustments" of the tax shield in the left side, which for three years, tirelessly seeks its removal. The Budget Minister Francois Baroin, who was auditioning for the first time Tuesday by the Finance Committee of the Assembly reaffirmed the need to maintain the tax shield to send a message of "fiscal stability" for French taxpayers who chose to go abroad to save taxes.
A topic "anxiety"
But the lines are moving in the majority.Thirteen UMP deputies said they would seek in a bill, the "suspension" of the tax shield to "finance the pension reform, reduce deficits and to support people in precarious situations. Jean-Francois Cope, the owner of UMP, which remains "very committed" to this device, does more to suspend the application "for a limited time, for a visit of solidarity.
The chairman of the New Center, Herve Morin, said that the question deserves "a full debate". The deputies and senators are centrists on the issue at the forefront, and that of the ISF. Jean Arthuis, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has long called for the abolition of the tax shield and the removal of the ISF, with consideration for the creation of an additional tax on income at 45%.In the House, Charles de Courson, a specialist in budgetary matters, is on the same line as the president of the centrist Alliance for the ISF. But it does not require the abolition of the tax shield. He would prefer the way the CSG and CRDS shield calculated at fixed rates, and that the CRDS is increased by 0.2% to 0.3%.
Jean-Francois Cope,, recommended the merger of the income tax, the CSG and CRDS to reduce deficits and debt, which have become a subject of "anxiety" to the French. This was the observation that the majority elected to have the opportunity of the regional campaign. Cope also agrees with a repeated request of many of the elected majority, leaving the principal residence of the base of the ISF.
