The majority wishes, in order to manage to balance its budget for 2024, to put an end to tax loopholes deemed harmful to the environment. The boss of the Renaissance deputies, Sylvain Maillard, explained this new course of action from his camp, during an interview on Radio J this Sunday, August 27.
“We are going to discuss all the niches that are not ecological”, or “a good thirty”, indicated the deputy for Paris, without specifying the amount of savings expected.
Among these “tax niches”, the research tax credit (CIR) must be “seen through the prism of the greening of the economy”, argued Mr. Maillard, according to whom the public money invested through the niches taxes must participate in “changing the behavior of the producer or the consumer”, and make them tend towards “ecological behavior”.
This measure could be a way to “support the ecological transition”, which must be “fair” and “financed”, while respecting the imperative to reduce the deficit, with the ambition of falling below the 3% of GDP mark. by 2027, in accordance with the European treaties.
Beyond the rules imposed by the EU and the desire to reassure its neighbors, the executive must also deal with the verdict of the rating agencies, whose next decisions will fall in the fall.
“We must return to a strong budgetary orthodoxy and say that each euro spent is an effective euro for the French,” pleaded Sylvain Maillard, while the government has also promised not to increase taxes.
