“To come back” on the abolition of the housing tax would amount to “return to tax justice and purchasing power”warns Sunday November 3 on France Inter Marc Fesneau, leader of MoDem deputies. He thus welcomes the remarks made on Sunday by the Minister of Partnership with the Territories and Decentralization in the columns of Le Parisien/Aujourd'hui en France. Catherine Vautrin notably ruled out the idea of a return of the housing tax, gradually eliminated between 2018 and 2023. For his part, Marc Fesneau affirms that this measure has brought “18 billion euros of purchasing power for the French”.
The deputy for Loir-et-Cher, former minister of Emmanuel Macron, believes that this tax was “very unfair because very disparate between the territories”. He therefore considers that its deletion constituted a “measure of tax justice and purchasing power”. He also responds to criticism coming from certain local elected officials, ensuring that “local authorities have been fully compensated” by the abolition of taxes.
Marc Fesneau is in favor of a renewal of dialogue between the government and local elected officials: “We need to find a dialogue with elected officials that is not simply a status quo dialogue”. The head of MoDem deputies explains that the constraints currently weighing on the territories relate to “energy issues, travel, or even the preservation of biodiversity”. However, he maintains that until now “state grants were” based on other criteria, such as “demographic growth” or even the“land rights”. He therefore considers that he “We need to think about our state allocations and our tax system in the light of what an economy is evolving.”
