Is the government on the point of massively increasing the taxes on the employees, unemployed and reprocessed at the time of the finance bill for 2010, while continuing privatiser and to bait itself to ration the expenditure for the public services?
Already the creation of a new tax was announced, the tax carbon, which would blindly strike the expenditure of the families to finance new lightenings of employers’ national insurance contributions.
In the same way the prospect for an increase in taking away on the households to compensate for the removal of the share “material investment” of the professional tax is profiled, principal local tax incentive the companies not to waste their capital.
And here that, from now on, one speaks to strongly reduce the “tax niches” made up of exemptions, abatements and various tax cuts.
Admittedly, one finds there gifts expensive granted to the holders of large capital like, for example, the “investments” in the DOM-TOM or for the work completed by fortunate taxpayers for the restoration of buildings classified in safeguarded sector or, still, for the taxpayers with the wealth tax who “invest” in SME. But there are also measurements like the abatement in favour of elderly or invalids of modest condition, the “additional half-shares” granted to the invalids or to the widowers having a dependent children, or the premium for employment, without speaking about the exemptions of interests of the booklets “has” or saving housing or booklet savings banks of popular saving or CODEVI…
PCF is opposed to a uniform treatment as of this “tax expenditure”. So economies are to be sought in this field they should relate to the “tax shield” which should be repealed, massive desfiscalisation of financial and real incomes of the capital which it is necessary to blame, the reduction and abatements of the wealth tax, multiple advantages granted to the great groups (mode of the world benefit and the consolidated benefit, treatment of depreciation…) and the employers’ social contribution exemptions whose annual cost for the State is meadows of 30 billion euros.
The government engaged of very expensive plans for the banks and the large companies (meadows of 460 billion euros) without whole to impose counterparts to them firm and controllable in terms of employment, formation, wage bill. The plans of dismissals multiply, the no-claims bonus proliferate just as the promises of dividends. That digs the national deficits and the debt. To try to stop the holes, under injunction of the ECB and the European commission, the government intends to make pay the note with the workers.
It is unacceptable, more especially as it would be best the way of prolonging the recession and of putting France in the incapacity to contribute to a new world growth which, to be durable, must be rich in employment, qualifications with respectful investments of the environment.
