Question 11348 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Martial Saddier draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the increase in the general tax on polluting activities (TGAP) announced by the Government. Waste treatment must meet increasing requirements in terms of the circular economy and environmental standards. Although a large number of municipalities have implemented innovative waste sorting and recovery systems waste, the management of this public service remains cumbersome. Its cost amounts to 186 euros including tax per inhabitant excluding TGAP. An increase in the latter would represent a penalizing additional burden for municipalities dealing with household waste management. The project under discussion which would double TGAP revenues in 2025 (from 450 million euros to between 800 million and 1.4 billion euros) seems unfair. In fact, of Much corporate waste is managed by the public service, a third of household waste is non-recyclable without the “marketers” of these products being penalized. The TGAP is now paid into the state budget and only contributes very little to financing territorial policies. Finally, most of the measures of the “circular economy roadmap” have not been implemented and offer no guarantee of reduction of residual waste for municipalities. The request for a reduction in spending by local authorities combined with the increase in TGAP raises fears of an increase in local taxes due to a higher cost of public service. He therefore wishes to know if the Government plans to reverse its plan to increase the TGAP in favor of a fairer and more appropriate policy for the municipalities.
