Summary

Mr. Florian Bachelier draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, responsible for public accounts, to the interest in the intervention of Solvit, a free service from the European Commission intended to facilitate the resolution of disputes involving several Member States of the European Union. Solvit is the European service provided by the administrations of all the countries of the European Union: it is fast and free.

It then refers companies to classic tax litigation. This is a long and costly path for all parties. As protector of the taxpayer, the French economy must do everything to limit disputes and gain fluidity. So what are the reasons that lead the tax administration to most of the time refuse the mediation provided for by law no. 2016-1547 of November 18, 2016 on the modernization of justice for the 21st century, on the grounds that it is not free? He therefore asks him to confirm that the French tax administration does not intend to give up dialogue with its community counterparts under the aegis of Solvit, which is a free service.
