Question 15050 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Jérôme End draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the difficulties encountered by brewers regarding the payment of the sanitation tax. Brewers are currently required to comply with sanitation regulations, including paying the sanitation tax. However, a significant part of the water consumed via brewery counter goes directly back into the composition of the beer and does not pass through any sanitation network. It would therefore seem fair and relevant that the amount of their sanitation tax takes into account the quantity of water contained in the beer produced. Farmers in the dairy sector benefit, for example, from a total exemption from sanitation on water intended for watering livestock, this water being present in milk and liquid effluents managed outside of collective sanitation. Beer producers would also like to be able to benefit from a reduction in their sanitation tax depending on the quantity of beer produced and therefore the volume of water used to produce it, instead of paying for sanitation on all the water consumed. The State collects each month, via customs, the excise taxes on the volumes of beer produced, these are evaluated very precisely: counting the volume of water to be taken into account to calculate the relief could therefore be easily done from the production declarations made to the tax administration. This would constitute a measure of justice and common sense, but also a strong signal of support for the 2,500 microbreweries which contribute to economic vitality. of the country and which provide 8,000 jobs to citizens. He therefore asks him what measures he intends to take in this direction.
