Question 7562 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Philippe Juvin draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, to a striking fiscal inequality concerning the treatment of patients suffering from the same pathology recognized as long-term illnesses (ALD). When an employee is placed on sick leave for a pathology recognized as ALD, daily allowances that he receives from health insurance are, in accordance with article 80 quinquies of the general tax code, exempt from income tax. On the other hand, when a person suffering from the same condition finds themselves retired, the retirement pension they receive remains fully subject to tax, without any specific adjustment recognizing the severity or consequences of the pathology from which they suffer. This difference in treatment raises a real question. For equivalent pathologies, the tax regime varies not according to the severity of the illness nor the loss of autonomy it induces, but according to the professional status of the patient. Many retired people suffering from serious and disabling pathologies, sometimes in very precarious situations, do not understand this unequal treatment. They wonder on the absence of tax measures equivalent to those from which the assets benefit. He therefore wishes to know if the Government intends to correct this inequity and is considering a partial or total exemption from retirement pensions for people with ALD, or any other tax mechanism allowing equitable recognition of the situation of patients, whatever their professional status.
