Question 17225 — local authorities

Summary

Mr. Raphaël Schellenberger draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the end of the State's responsibility for the franking of notices of sums to be paid (ASAP) sent to local taxpayers. Recalling the limits of its budgetary obligations towards local authorities, the general directorate of public finances has decided to put an end to the provision of envelopes by the directorate's accountants departmental public finances from the current year. This decision also applies to ancillary costs, with the exception of postal costs up to 35 grams, and is accompanied by an injunction to dematerialize the sending of invoices. Communities are therefore informed that the financial burden for which they are responsible is increasing while formulating new demands, in contradiction with a more intuitive logic. and respectful who would have wanted that in the face of increased burdens, communities could see their freedoms, particularly in management choices, extended. This decision calls into question the fragile balance of tasks born from the obligation to separate the authorizing officer and the accountant in matters of local finances. Under these conditions, it would seem wise to consider allowing local authorities to directly manage their accounting by putting in place new, more responsive rules, more adapted to the evolution of the missions of communities while maintaining the requirements of transparency and probity in the management of public money. He therefore questions the Government on its conception of the application of the principle of subsidiarity in this matter.
