The executive also draws up a measure supposed to make the richest contribute (article 3), which should certainly be the subject of the biggest debates in Parliament, if the government holds out until then. It introduces a new tax “on assets not allocated to an operational activity of asset holding companies”. Far from at Zucman taxesthis provision targeting the preferred instrument of the wealthiest to protect themselves from taxes should however not bring in more than 1.5 billion euros, according to our colleagues at Les Echos.
Niche-hunting parliamentarians will find a hook in the text (article 5) with a regular cleaning of 23 of the 474 niches listed in the tax code. We note in particular the disappearance of two brown niches identified by the Court of Auditors, on B100 and E85 fuels.
In terms of energy, the text provides for a surprise, with the almost doubling of the tax on solar panels (Ifer), for solar power plants commissioned before 2021 (article 19). We also find a planning of tax measures to green automobile fleets (article 13) or the delay of one year of the tax reform encouraging the use of renewable energies in transport (article 16).
As planned, a tax on “low-value items intended for individuals” (article 22), intended to limit the surge of distance selling packages from Asia, has been introduced. The government has set the levy at 2 euros per item (before application of VAT at the rate applicable to the item). A sum intended to cover the costs of customs controls.
The tax will be temporary, “pending a lasting European solution” planned as part of the reform of the Customs Union, underlines the explanatory memorandum and will have to end “no later than December 31, 2026”.
The government also plans to tax “all smoking products” (article 23) to respond to the diversity of uses (vaping, electronic cigarettes, etc.), particularly depending on the nicotine content of the products.
