Question 13398 — municipalities

Summary

Mr. Lionel Vuibert draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the persistent difficulties encountered by many municipalities following the reform of the management of the development tax which took place in 2022. Since the transfer of the liquidation and recovery of this tax to the services of the general directorate of public finances, its due date is now conditional on the declaration of completion of the work made by the taxpayer. However, on the ground, several municipalities, particularly rural ones, note a very low rate of completion of this approach by individuals, which blocks the triggering of liquidation. In certain small-scale communities, an almost total absence of collection of revenue linked to planning authorizations is reported. issued since 2022. This situation results in several consecutive budgetary years without corresponding collection, even though the costs of development, maintenance of roads, networks or public equipment have been incurred. Beyond a simple cash flow gap, local elected officials are concerned about the risk of permanent loss of revenue due to the legal deadlines applicable to recovery and recovery. Such a situation would create a lasting structural imbalance for municipal finances, particularly in rural areas where budgetary margins are already constrained. Although the Government has indicated that it is working on technical adjustments aimed at making the exchange of information more reliable and improving the information of those responsible, many municipalities are not seeing any concrete improvement at this stage. He him therefore asks to clarify the national inventory of delays and losses of revenue observed since the reform, to detail the corrective measures actually adopted, their implementation timetable, as well as the guarantees provided to communities in order to avoid any irreversible loss of resources. He wishes to know the measures that the Government intends to take in order to sustainably secure the proceeds of the tax planning, an essential resource for financing local investment and balanced territorial development.
