Question 762 — taxes

Summary

Ms. Laurence Maillart-Méhaignerie draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the financial consequences, for retirees with modest incomes, of the increase in the general social contribution (CSG) planned for January 1, 2018. The transfer of salary costs to the CSG aims to redistribute purchasing power to workers through a reduction in salary costs and an increase in net salary. Regarding retirees, the The increase in the CSG would concern those whose reference tax income would be greater than 1,200 euros per month for a single person and 1,837 euros for a couple. 8 million people would be affected. The Government has announced measures to compensate for the loss of purchasing power for the most modest retirees, in particular with the exemption from housing tax which will affect 80% of French men and women and the increase in the minimum old age. Among the compensation measures envisaged, he asks whether the Government also plans to restore the additional half-tax share granted to single people and widows who have raised children. The half-tax share was abolished between 2009 and 2014, its elimination had the effect of mechanically increasing the reference tax income of people with modest incomes.
