In an interview with Parisian published Saturday, November 2, Catherine Vautrin assured that there would be no return of this tax while certain local elected officials are calling for a reinstatement of local taxation.
The government is closing the door to the restoration of the housing tax. Gradually removed between 2018 and 2023 by Emmanuel Macron, this tax will not make a comeback, affirms Catherine Vautrin in an interview with Parisian published Saturday, November 2, while some local elected officials are calling for a restoration of local taxation because of the state's worrying finances at the time of examination of the 2025 budget.
“On the other hand, I am ready to resume work relating to taxation which had been started by elected officials of the CFL, the Local Finance Committee”nevertheless assures the Minister of Local Authorities. “We probably need to look at how we can enable communities to better control their resources”. “I would like to open a consultation with local elected officials at the beginning of 2025”also announces the minister. Catherine Vautrin evokes a “possible participation in living in the city or village”.
“The great mistake of the five-year term”
While the government wants to call on local authorities to restore France's finances, several elected officials have requested, in recent days, a return of the housing tax for main residences. LFI MP David Guiraud thus tabled an amendment as part of the budget review in order to reinstate the tax for the 20% of wealthiest households. According to the mayor of Les Républicains de Meaux, Jean-François Copé, its removal is even the “big mistake of the five-year term”.
