Question 10795 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Demilly draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the consequences that would result from the increase in the general tax on polluting activities (TGAP) currently being studied by the Government. The local authorities responsible for the collection and processing of household waste are very concerned about the announced measures which will hit taxpayers and their purchasing power hard. THE joint union for the treatment of household waste (SMITOM) of Santerre considers that these measures are “unfair and ineffective”. Unfair because they would produce an increase in local taxes. In fact, taxpayers would see their household waste taxes or fees increase while they are asked to make ever more efforts to sort their waste. And ineffective because, among other things, a third of household waste is impossible to recycle, communities are therefore forced to eliminate this waste and are taxed for this. In addition, the proposed reform will gradually eliminate all the rebates that exist today and which make it possible to encourage more virtuous solutions (energy recovery of waste for example). Also, he asks him if it is his intention to be kind, to avoid an unfair increase in local taxes and contribute effectively to the development of the circular economy, meet the following conditions: the presentation of guarantees on the measures presented by the Government in the circular economy roadmap in order to reduce residual waste; exemption from TGAP for the 150 kilos per inhabitant per year corresponding to the deposit of non-recyclable household waste; the creation of a TGAP bonus for communities and companies performing well in terms of the circular economy; total exemption from TGAP for communities and companies performing well in the circular economy; a reduced TGAP for residual waste resulting from sorting or mechanical pre-treatment; the allocation of TGAP waste revenue to the ADEME Circular Economy Fund with greater participation of communities in the governance of this fund.
