Question 11238 — veterans and victims of war

Summary

Mr. François Jolivet draws the attention of the Minister of the Armed Forces to the legislation in force concerning the additional half-tax share of widows of veterans. As provided for in the finance law for 2016 no. 2015-1785 (modifying article 195-1-f of the general tax code), an additional half-tax share is granted to veterans aged over 74 and holders of the combatant's card. In the event of death of this lastly, it is his wife who benefits from this measure symbolizing the recognition of the Nation. He wishes to highlight the inconsistency of this text, which in fact generates inequalities between widows of veterans. If the veteran dies before the so-called “legal” age of 74, the right to the additional half-share has not been granted and is therefore definitively ineligible for inheritance. However, there remains a deeper inconsistency. There Current law stipulates that the widow must also be at least 74 years old to claim the right to the additional half-share, previously opened by her late husband. In the case where the widow is younger, the right is then withdrawn to be reallocated once the “legal” age is reached. It is harmful that the widow of a veteran who is younger than her husband is thus penalized, sometimes being exempt for years. of this legitimate tax advantage. He asks this question on behalf of all the widows of veterans who, already faced with grief and pain, have the feeling of injustice. Thus, he asks her what action she can give to the request of the widows of veterans who are calling for a fair rebalancing of the law.
