Question 18567 — income tax

Summary

Mr. Bertrand Petit questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty about the half-tax share formerly granted to widows. This so-called “widows’ half share” system allowed a surviving spouse to avoid a sudden increase in their income tax when they lost the tax share of the deceased spouse. He therefore had a share and a half, provided that the couple had at least least one child. This tax measure was nevertheless gradually eliminated from 2008 to 2014 by the Fillon government. Even today, many surviving spouses, previously exempt, are forced to pay income tax, housing tax and property tax for the first time, even though their pension is around 1,000 euros per month; a situation which is no longer bearable considering the difficulties finances of the most precarious French people. He therefore asks her to please clarify the Government's intentions regarding the restoration of widows' half share.
