The night was short for the deputies. A few hours after the end of the debate on the Social Security budget (which ended without a vote), they will return to the Assembly, Thursday, November 13, to continue examining the Finance Bill (PLF), this time. Eliminating tax loopholes for retirees will be on the agenda when discussions resume at 9am. Follow our live broadcast.
The text has been paused. Deputies had waived it, on November 4, to begin an examination of the “revenue” section of the PLFSS(New window), including suspension of pension reform. Therefore, discussions resumed where they left off on November 4.
Voting for the moment is scheduled for Monday at 3 p.m. For the APBN, this task also promises to be a tough challenge. More than 2,100 amendments remain to be vetted in the section devoted to revenue alone. A vote is planned for November 17 on this, but it seems far from certain. The entire text must be submitted to the Senate by November 23 at midnight, in line with the constitutional deadline.
Elimination of tax loopholes for retirees on the program soon after debate reopened Thursday morning. The government intends to replace the 10% reduction they received in their pension fund with a flat rate reduction of 2,000 euros, with an expected return of 1.2 billion euros. However, as in committee, a consensus to remove these measures must emerge.
Important issues on the agenda. There are still many taxes to be examined, including the small parcel tax, which is attracting particular attention as the controversy surrounding e-commerce giant Shein fuels public debate. Or the increase in stamp duty for obtaining a residence permit, criticized by the left.
