Question 17069 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Olivier Gaillard draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the concrete consequences of the dematerialization policy carried out by the tax administration since 2015. From a certain amount of tax to be paid, it is no longer possible to pay by check or by interbank payment order (TIP). In this case, the so-called dematerialized method (monthly direct debit, direct debit at maturity or online payment) is supposed to be obligatory. In 2018, the threshold was 1,000 euros. It was lowered, in 2019, to 300 euros. Many taxpayers are now concerned, especially as the measure targets property tax and housing tax. In 2016, it was decided that a surcharge of 0.2%, with a minimum of 15 euros, applies in the event of payment by an unauthorized payment method. This is a completely questionable increase since we take into consideration people who do not master IT tools (elderly people in particular) or who do not have digital coverage. The very principle of sanctioning a taxpayer based on the means of payment chosen to pay the tax is itself very questionable. As soon as there is a desire to pay the tax, support and encouragement must take precedence over sanctions. He notices that in At the end of 2018, the ministry removed this increase mechanism for the check. He therefore asks him if this gesture is intended to be perpetuated for the property tax and other taxes affected by the telepayment obligation.
