Inheritance taxes: a reduction raised to 120,000 euros “for direct line donations and inheritances”?
The amendment carried by the UDR ofEric Ciotti and the National Rally, and adopted on Thursday October 24, proposes the passage of the tax reduction of 100,000 to 120,000 euros “for direct line donations and inheritances” (parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren).
As explained by UDR deputy Gérault Verny, this measure will aim to “ better support the early transfer of assetswhich will promote intergenerational mobility of capital. By releasing a substantial part of assets earlier, this reform, he assures, allows younger generations to benefit from an increased capacity to consume and invest, stimulating (in passing) the economy in a period of their lives when these decisions are the most impactful.”

As provided for by the amendment, the financing of the measure will be done by “ the creation of an additional tax on the excise on tobacco”.
But nothing is won yet since a possible 49.3 could well destroy the project, knowing moreover that the unfavorable position of the government in relation to this measure.
