Question 13527 — local taxes

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Trompille draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the implementation of the reduction in housing tax for retirees. If the reduction in the housing tax that is already effective is bearing fruit in terms of growth and purchasing power, certain categories of individuals with modest incomes occupy a gray area that does not allow them to benefit from it. So that a household can benefit from the 30% reduction in housing tax, the reference tax income not to be exceeded is 43,000 euros. However, certain former workers, who retired after 2014 and who chose to spread their departure bonus over four years, as the law allows, now exceed this threshold. At the time of their withdrawal from working life, if they had opted for payment of their departure bonus in one installment, they would benefit from housing tax relief. However, having opted for one choice rather than another within the framework of what the law allows them, they now find themselves deprived of this relief even though the spread of their departure bonus is a sign of their modesty, with the aim of guaranteeing a minimum of security for their future. This decision also risks harming them when implementing application of the future withholding tax, scheduled for January 2019. He therefore asks if the Government intends to revise the terms of application of the housing tax and the withholding tax for the year, in order not to further penalize low-income retirees, located on the border of the thresholds that must not be crossed to benefit from these measures.
