Question 4739 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Pieyre-Alexandre Anglade draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the advisability of integrating a quota of teleworking days into the tax convention between France and Belgium. The introduction of a teleworking quota has been a long-standing request from cross-border workers established in Belgium and working in France. The MP relays this request and supports them actively. Numerous discussions and working meetings were held between the MP and the teams of the previous minister, who had made a commitment to put this issue back on the agenda for discussions with Belgium. In a previous and recent response, the Government indicated that the ratification of the convention signed in November 2021 was conditional on the successful conclusion of discussions between the authorities competent French and Belgian authorities aiming to study possible arrangements. To the extent that these discussions delay the entry into force of the new convention, it would be appropriate to immediately include a teleworking quota allowing cross-border workers to carry out part of their activity from home without changing their tax regime. A European framework agreement recently signed by France and the countries of Benelux already allows up to 50% teleworking without changing social security affiliation, thus removing a regulatory barrier. He therefore wishes to know whether the Government intends to take advantage of these discussions to integrate this adaptation into the tax convention and over what time frame such a modification could be implemented.
