Question 10981 — local authorities

Summary

Mr. Fabrice Roussel draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the consequences of the reform of the development tax on the finances of local authorities. Article 155 of Law No. 2020-1721 of December 29, 2020 on finances for 2021 reformed the management of the urban planning tax by transferring the competence of the departmental directorates of the territories to the general directorate of public finances (DGFIP). This transfer was ratified by Ordinance No. 2022-883 of June 14, 2022. Since then, local authorities, in particular municipalities, have encountered serious difficulties in recovering this tax, which is nevertheless essential to financing their public facilities. Municipal and departmental shares constitute a decisive tax lever for the preservation of sensitive natural spaces, the functioning of architectural, town planning and environmental councils, water management and, more broadly, support for local investment. In a context of strong budgetary tensions and reductions in financial assistance from the State, particularly from the green fund, these delays weaken the financial sustainability of communities. Also, he questions him in order to know the strategy of Government concerning the establishment of an efficient and equitable recovery of the town planning tax, in order to preserve the tax resources essential for the action of local authorities. He also wants to know if the deficit perceived by local authorities will be filled by the Ministry of the Economy.
