While elected officials are calling for the restoration of the housing tax, abolished in 2023 for main residences, the Minister of Partnership with the Territories and Decentralization is closing the door to this possibility.
“There will be no return to housing tax on main residences”promised Catherine Vautrin, the Minister of Partnership with the Territories and Decentralization to Parisian this Saturday, November 2. While Michel Barnier's government is asking local authorities for savings, many elected officials are demanding the restoration of the housing tax, abolished in 2023 for main residences.
“On the other hand, I am ready to resume work relating to taxation (…) to look at how we can enable communities to better control their resources,” said the minister. “We need to think about possible participation in living in the city or village. There is nothing free, she assures.
“Without recreating a form of housing tax, making everyone responsible for the importance of the cost seems to me to correspond to a requirement that we cannot do without,” she believes among our colleagues.
