Question 12404 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Arnaud Viala questions the Minister of Action and Public Accounts about the possible increase in inheritance taxes. Mr. Christophe Castaner declared that he wanted to launch "a discussion without taboos for an overhaul of inheritance taxation", thus following the idea of ​​the President of the Republic who had said he was in favor of an increase in inheritance taxation. Mr. Macron wishes to impose his vision of investment on the French, even those with very little capital who cannot afford to make risky investments. In fact, the President of the Republic announces that “if we have a preference for risk over annuity, which is my case, we must prefer inheritance taxation to ISF type taxes”. People suffering from the disappearance of a loved one and simply wishing to keep this person's belongings as a souvenir, or because This represents a new asset advantage. They do not necessarily want to indulge in risky investments, especially when these people have low income. Although Mr. President of the Republic announced, in the face of growing discontent, that Mr. Castaner's declaration was unfounded, and that there would be no increase in this tax, this subject comes up repeatedly. France is one of the countries that taxes the most inheritances, which represent an additional burden for the French who, in the pain of the loss of a loved one, must also carry out financial estimates in a short time in order to know if the assets of the deceased loved one can remain in the family. While the economic situation has made individual or family savings and capitalization more and more complex for years, dealing a new blow to the will of the French to preserve family heritage is contrary to what citizens want. By overtaxing inheritances, we cause the dismemberment of family assets, or real estate which is most often responsible for family history and memories must be resold due to a lack of ability to pay inheritance taxes. The same applies to the movable property and assets of the deceased. Only the most The wealthy will then be able to keep their property, memories and family material heritage. For others, you have to sell everything. If the Government insists that taxes will not increase during the 2017-2022 five-year term, taxes for their part are soaring. The increase in inheritance tax is deeply unequal and only adds to the distress for those struck by the sadness of the loss of a loved one. He asks her why the Government does not want to facilitate inheritance to help families instead of once again increasing taxation on inheritance.
