Question 10783 — income tax

Summary

Mr. André Chassaigne questions the Minister of Action and Public Accounts on the consequences of the implementation of withholding tax for local businesses. The withholding tax (PAS) must come into force on January 1, 2019. The Union of Local Businesses (U2P) estimates that the cost of managing the withholding tax will be 125 euros per employee, representing, for the year 21019, a total cost of one billion euros distributed throughout the local economy. This additional cost will inevitably be passed on to customer invoices. Thus, this reform will have the consequence of further weakening local businesses, already facing sometimes fierce competition. Notwithstanding the additional workload falling on business leaders, accompanied by no compensation, the risks incurred by knowing the rate of taxation are real. In fact, employees' tax household income, as well as the asset value of their property, do not have to be brought to the attention of employers. Unconsciously, this can lead to discriminatory situations. Furthermore, employers are not intended to become tax collectors. Also, given the absence of compensation for this new workload and confidentiality on the rate of taxation of the tax household, he asks it to postpone the application of the withholding tax.
