Question 21518 — taxes

Summary

Ms. Michèle Tabarot draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the impact on the construction sector of certain recent announcements. The first concerns the planned end of the reduced rate on the domestic consumption tax on energy products on non-road diesel which was already discussed in 2018. In addition, during his general policy speech of June 12, 2019, the Prime Minister announced, among other things, the launch of a reflection on the specific standard deduction system. This reduction benefits several sectors including construction. Its removal would lead to an increase in gross salary and social charges and consequently a reduction in net salary for the employees concerned. The increase in costs is estimated at 1.8 billion euros per year and could hardly be absorbed by a sector already affected by the decline in construction starts. Also, she would like the Government to be able to clarify its intentions on these two subjects and, if these reforms were to be undertaken, to announce the measures it intends to implement to support them in order to ensure their neutrality for employees and businesses.
