Question 13746 — income tax

Summary

Ms. Annie Chapelier draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the tax credits relating to home school support. Educational support, like all personal services, is an activity which allows the granting of tax advantages, in accordance with article 199 sexdecies of the general tax code. The principle consists of being able to benefit from a 50% reduction or tax credit on the income concerning all sums paid during the year within the limit of a ceiling set at 12,000 euros. This ceiling is increased by 1,500 euros per dependent, up to a limit of 15,000 euros. The tax advantage, in other words public money, plays an essential role in the success of these companies. A study relayed by the France 2 news shows that one student in 6 follows academic support sessions. In total, 17% of middle and high school students who take classes outside of school. A report from the Council for Employment, Income and Social Cohesion indicates that more than a third of consumers who use these brands have the highest income level in France. The tax reduction mainly benefits wealthy households. Some organizations highlight the fact of having obtained state approval. This approval is a simple administrative document requested by these companies whose award criteria are only administrative and not educational. Consequently, it does not provide any indication of the quality of services. In fact, companies suggest the opposite via their website and use this approval to reassure their customers about the quality of the services provided. The deputy points out a system where companies Private companies take advantage of public money to sell their products with the aim of making a profit. This results in a commodification of academic success in favor of the wealthiest families. This tax loophole, estimated at more than 300 million euros per year, could be donated to public educational support in a principle of social equality. For this, she is asking him to remove this tax aid in this area so that the money public funds be redistributed to public schools.
