Question 11248 — taxes

Summary

Mr. Benjamin Saint-Huile questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty on social security contributions made on retirement pensions. Retired people are bearing the brunt of inflation. Some are also forced to return to partial activity in order to be able to assume daily expenses. However, resuming, even very partially, a salaried activity can prove to be highly detrimental and disadvantageous. Thus a retired person living alone and having a reference tax income of less than 11,614 euros decided to work a few hours per week in order to enhance their daily life. The amount of her remuneration, of the order of a few hundred euros, is enough to raise her reference tax income above the amount allowing her to be exempt from taxes. Subject to the CSG at a rate of 3.8% and the CRDS at a rate of 0.5% on all of its resources, the few hours worked cause it to reduce its purchasing power. This example is unfortunately not an isolated case. Indeed, many people faced with rising energy costs and soaring prices for food and basic necessities have been forced to return to paid employment, often for weekly periods. very weak. Establishing a CSG, CRDS and CASA levy model identical to that governing taxation according to brackets when taxing income would undeniably make it possible to avoid threshold effects, as described above, which generate deep feelings of social injustice. In view of these arguments, he asks him to study, for elderly people subject to social security contributions, a system similar to that governing income tax brackets. He wants to know his position on the subject.
