Question 10793 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Régis Juanico draws the attention of the Secretary of State, to the Prime Minister, responsible for disabled people to the subjection of blind people to the contribution to public broadcasting. Article 41 of the finance law for 2005 (no. 2004-1484 of December 30, 2004), simplified the method of collecting the audiovisual royalty by attaching it to the housing tax for individuals liable for this tax. Correlatively, the reductions or exemptions from the audiovisual license fee have been aligned with those of the housing tax. This alignment had the consequence of excluding blind or visually impaired people from the audiovisual royalty reduction regime. Article 1605 of the general tax code thus specifies the conditions for being subject to the contribution to public broadcasting: benefit from a reduction in the contribution to public broadcasting, holders of the additional disability allowance mentioned in article L. 815-24 of the social security code as well as taxpayers holders of the allowance for disabled adults, but whose reference tax income for the previous year does not exceed the limit set in I of article 1417 of the CGI. Considering that visually impaired and blind people do not fully enjoy the television service, he wishes to know the Government's intentions regarding an extension of the exemption to all blind or visually impaired people, whatever their resources.
