Question 22483 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Ian Boucard draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the concerns of construction companies about the Government's decision to remove the reduced tax rate on non-road diesel (GNR) as well as the end of the 10% reduction for professional expenses. Indeed, this decision to remove the advantageous taxation on non-road diesel amounts to further increasing taxes for companies. already weakened. It is a real economic earthquake for the latter where the movement of machinery is necessary, while there is no alternative solution, particularly for those located outside large metropolises. The construction sector is already weakened due to the drop in market prices, which leads to lower margins and therefore, financial repercussions for this sector which employs a million one hundred and forty-six thousand employees. In addition, regarding the removal of the 10% reduction for professional expenses, this again concerns salaried workers who benefit from packed lunches as well as mileage expenses, being required to work far from their home. With these measures, it is not a question of social justice but of an increase in costs for employers and a reduction in purchasing power. for employees. Thus, with the accumulation of these two measures, craftsmen and entrepreneurs would have to pay an additional 1.8 billion euros from next year. Consequently, the construction sector will be particularly penalized by these legislative changes and it is feared that these reforms will be responsible for the disappearance of jobs, while the construction sector has created 50,000 over the last two years. This is why he asks what the Government intends to do to take into account the concerns of construction companies by renouncing these penalizing measures for the employment and purchasing power of workers.
