Two days rendering the paper tax return, on which may have floored despite this sunny weekend number of taxpayers, Finance Minister Michel Sapin spoke out Sunday against a merger tax income with the CSG that would result in “higher taxes for half the French” as they “want to see tax cuts.”
Asked about BFM TV-RMC- The point on the goal of a merger of income tax and the CSG campaign promise of Francois Hollande, Michel Sapin said that the government had “set the bases” in 2012. “We impose the same how capital and labor under the CSG as under income tax “and” this is a very good thing, “he said.
But” merger of the two today, it would announce the increase in taxes for half the French, “he added. “An increase in taxes, the answer is no, because it would mean that the CSG increases for half of the French,” he insisted. A recent study showed that only 47% of tax households are liable to income tax and the figure is expected to decline with the recent removal of tax for 9 million taxpayers, passed in Budget 2014. The government could liked also write a letter to those affected by the news, but seems likely to give it up because the computer does not allow tax to do so by the deadline, that is to say, before the payment of the “third period” in September.
The French want “tax cuts”
“The French now, what they want, it ‘ is tax cuts, “reaffirmed Michel Sapin. “We have stabilized in 2014 (…) In 2015, they begin to fall.” The finance minister had yet when he was Minister of Labour, advocated a “gradual CSG”. Now at Bercy, he acknowledges that “major tax reform (…) does not exist. There are reforms arriving and being put in place progressively.” The minister, however, said the government had “increased taxes too much too soon.”
Asked also about the level of unemployment in neighboring countries, Michel Sapin said “prefer 7% in Germany without precariousness than 5% with British futures. ” Asked about the reelection of Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative British, “what I remember (…) is that it is moving that successful, not staying on place,” he said.
As for the duration of unemployment benefits, he rejected the idea of reducing the level of France in Germany. According to the minister, “it works in Germany with a level of unemployment that has always remained very low, today we are at a high level of unemployment in France.”
La France “to reform, advance “Today, he assured. “France is going to move.” For Michel Sapin, “in today’s world, in today’s Europe, a France stopped, it would be condemned France” and “we need reforms.” “We are reforming and continue to reform,” assured the minister of finance.
A growth of over 1% in 2015?
Minister Finance was also reaffirmed in 2015 growth above 1% in France, wishing it to be taken over time, he said it was “quite possible”. The growth rate of 0.6% in the first quarter announced this week by INSEE is “a good news, good news for France,” said he was on BFM TV-RMC-Le Point. “What I want is that this year the France do better than the 1%,” he reiterated.

The Minister said he wanted” more growth, but sustainable “to” be part of the life finally found “. “I believe it quite possible”, he assured, by focusing on household consumption and exports. But “it remains critical (…) must reparte business investment,” he said.
Asked about the objective advanced in 2012 a growth 2 to 2.5% in 2017, Mr Sapin said he “does not believe (is) not” it’s possible “because you have to climb gradually”. But “more than 1% this year, more than 1.5% next year. There, we are in a trajectory that can reduce unemployment,” he said. The forecast 2-2.5% as the Socialists had made during the 2012 presidential campaign is “not the mistake of one side or another (…) it is the mistake of all “he he said, stressing that the right-wing candidate Nicolas Sarkozy made a similar forecast.
