Question 11824 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Didier Le Gac draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the consequences of the upcoming abolition of the CICE (on January 1, 2019) on the future of the exemption system for the employment of occasional agricultural workers (TO-DE). For farmers, the disappearance of the “TO-DE” would financially impact farmers to the tune of 144 - 178 million euros per year, applied to the payroll seasonal contract of 2016. The financial loss for a salary of 1.10 (SMIC + ICCP) would be 189 euros per seasonal contract each month. On this basis, the overall loss recorded for farmers in the Brittany region, who recorded 53,000 TO-DE contracts in 2016, would amount to more than 10 million euros per year. The general reduction in charges envisaged by the abolition of the CICE would not then compensate for the announced abolition of this exemption. Employing 14% of French workers, sectors that heavily employ casual labor (market gardening, horticulture, seed production, arboriculture, viticulture) would be directly penalized with a detrimental result on the level of competitiveness. He recalls that France currently faces fierce competition from neighboring countries. Under these conditions, and having regard to the consequences on employment in rural areas, he asks if the Government plans to sustainably compensate for this loss which threatens the relocation of our agricultural production.
