The contribution “exceptional” to the recovery of public finances which will be requested by the government from the French “the most fortunate” within the framework of the 2025 draft budget will only concern “0,3%” of householdsBudget Minister Laurent Saint-Martin said this Thursday.
Asked about France 2Laurent Saint-Martin cited the example of“a household without children which affects almost income of 500,000 euros per year“emphasizing that “we are really talking about the most fortunate”.
Questioned by AFP, his ministry specified that the measure would concern approximately 75,000 households in Francewhich had 30.6 million in 2021 according to INSEE.
The income levels concerned will depend on the composition of the tax household.
“No general increase in income tax”
“After the years of protecting jobs, income, and growth that we have had in recent years, we can legitimately ask the wealthiest taxpayers to participate exceptionally, temporarily to this recovery effort”added the Minister of Budget and Public Accounts, attached to Matignon.
Asked whether this contribution, the terms of which he did not specify, would cover a period of one year, he replied: “We will see this in the debate, but it must be temporary, in the same way as for very large companiesit has to be temporary.”
“There will be no general increase in income tax”recalled Laurent Saint-Martin. “No, there will be no deindexation of the income tax scale”he added.
