Question 10561 — cross-border workers

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Weber draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the consequences of the decision of the Council of State of October 25, 2024 removing the cap on social security contributions on the pensions of multi-pension retirees residing in France. This decision, combined with the effects of the 2018 Franco-Luxembourg tax convention, leads to a significant overtaxation of pensions received from Luxembourg, significantly aggravating the tax pressure on cross-border retirees from Meurthe-et-Moselle. Cross-border workers' groups denounce a clear breakdown in equality between pensioners depending on their country of origin. For comparison, retirees receiving a pension from Germany or Switzerland benefit from more favorable tax provisions. This situation results in a unfair overtaxation, contrary to the principles of tax fairness and arouses great incomprehension in border territories. In this context, he wishes to know the Government's intentions regarding the reintroduction of a mechanism for capping social security contributions applicable to pensions received from abroad and whether it plans to open a review of the tax convention to correct its unfair effects.
