Question 16129 — pensions: agricultural regime

Summary

Mr. Jean-Yves Bony draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the stagnation of agricultural pensions which are much lower than those received by all French people. People without other income are therefore well below the poverty line. These pensions have not been revalued for 5 years while at the same time, they suffered an increase of 1.7 points in CSG on January 1, 2018. This increase does not seem to have been compensated, contrary to the Government's statements. The announcement of an increase in the CSG which would only concern pensions below 1,200 euros per month turned out to be false. The application of a CSG rate is not a function of the retirement level but of the relatively low reference tax income level: 14,404 euros per year, for a single person. For a couple, two tax shares, this sum is not multiplied by two but simply by 1.5 to arrive at 1,840 euros per month. He asks what measures the Government intends to take so that this threshold is multiplied by the actual number of tax shares. Furthermore, the purchasing power of retirees is impacted by the successive postponements of the increase in basic pensions. For 2019 and 2020, while inflation will be around 2%, the Government announces already an increase in pensions of 0.3%. He wants to know if the Government intends to index pensions to price increases.
