It doesn't take much to shake up the future. However, the news that has just fallen for France is not trivial. The vote on the motion of censure calls into question various projects planned for next year. In all this upheaval, the cancellation of certain taxes appears like a light in the night for all French people.
What is the motion of censure
Thunderbolt for the government of Michel Barnier. The proposed motion of censure was passed. In other words, the Prime Minister is obliged to resign. Furthermore, the ministers are all overthrownbecause it is necessary to form a new government which must obtain the approval of the National Assembly. We will therefore have to forget certain taxes.
By acting in this way, Parliamentarians highlight the dissensions that separate them from the government. This practice is based on separation of powers. It shows that members of the National Assembly can act freely and influence the destiny of the State. And this, without depending on the executive power, just like for the establishment of certain taxes.
Michel Barnier's government will therefore be dissolved before even having really started to function. Therefore, the projects under discussion so far will not apply. This is the case for certain financial decisions, such as those relating to certain taxes.

The French will be delighted to learn that the increase in certain taxes will ultimately not take place. There are 3 which were expected to have a serious impact on the wallets of French citizens. The motion of censure and the fall of the government canceled these planned increases.
Increases that will not apply
The deputies and senators had planned to burden certain means of transportation a higher tax. This was to relate to plane tickets. If this tax called “ solidarity tax » had emerged, you would have had to pay 5.30 euros for your economy class ticket instead of the current 2.63 euros.
-The tax soda » also becomes obsolete. This would have contributed to an increase in the prices of certain sweet drinks. In fact, the tax would increase depending on the level of sugar contained in the drink. Your usual Coca-Cola should therefore have cost you 20 cents more.
Finally, you find yourself rid of the tax “ Lapland “. It would have served to punish certain French people in some way. Far too many patients forget to cancel a medical appointment or simply don't pay attention to it. According to parliamentarians, these rabbit posers had to pay a fine. An amount of 5 euros had been mentioned.
Consequences on household budgets
Thanks to the cancellation of these various taxes, the French wallets will be able to remain a little padded. Indeed, these 3 taxes would have had direct effects on the majority of citizens. For example, 8 out of 10 French people treat themselves to a Coca-Cola at least once during the year. The soda tax would therefore have hit many people.
