Question 11198 — value added tax

Summary

Mr. Arnaud Viala questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the economic risks relating to growth and employment following the plan to increase the rates of reduced VAT. Reduced VAT rates for energy renovation work in buildings aim to encourage individuals and professionals to work for more energy savings and thus contribute to the fight for more ecological living comfort. Furthermore, these Reduced VAT allows companies to recruit more and craftsmen to be able to invest in better equipment and materials. However, the Government has announced its desire to reverse these reduced VAT rates even though it is making the fight against global warming a priority for the 2017-2022 five-year term. Beyond the incomprehension that this creates among environmental defenders, the economic and the employment of companies is likely to be heavy. He asks for clarification of the measures envisaged by the Government with regard to taking into account the impact of such a measure on building professionals and the economic and ecological behavior of clients to compensate for the increase in VAT rates on these activities.
