830 euros per share found the head of State

Adéfaut to permanently preserve the tax shield - this apparatus to Cap taxes at 50 of its revenue-, Nicolas Sarkozy has avoided to be dictating its schedule by parliamentarians: received yesterday in the Elysee Palace, they have agreed to postpone the discussion on the taxation of heritage to the next year. A group of elected representatives of the majority will work throughout the first half of 2011 to ensure that the wealth tax to become "more bearable", thus making the tax "unnecessary" shield, indicates a craftsman of the record. Even if it does not explicitly mentioned, Nicolas Sarkozy seems ready to remove the tax shield - important symbol of its fiscal strategy since 2007. "If I introduced the tax shield at 50, it is because at the time, you want not to reform the ISF!" he defended before the parliamentarians present twenty. A budgetary collective can be presented current June to validate reform, he promised to them. Ten months which will enable to ripen the minds and will avoid, especially, to pollute the debate on pensions. In full mobilization, the day was indeed not necessarily best chosen to evoke a reduction - even partial - of the ISF.

"The President of the Republic has been very open", retains the centrist Charles de Courson. The debate on tax strategy is "e finally launched", confirms Senator Philippe Marini (UMP). MP Michel Piron, who rallied 122 deputies behind him, abandons not, so far, to defend his amendment next week, in public session. It involves the removal of the tax shield and Lai, and increased taxation of the income of the heritage and the work. But it will remove once it has obtained the solemn session of the Government to reform the taxation of the heritage the next year. Guarantee from yesterday in the Elysee Palace.

ISF: not deleting in view

It is too early to know where the Executive is ready to go. The deletion of the ISF, which reported six times more that costs the shield (665 million against 3.9 billion projected by 2011), is "very unlikely", said a government source. Politically, it would be too risky before 2012. But at this stage, no topic is officially set aside to not rush the parliamentarians.

Nicolas Sarkozy has not completely excluded from income tax increase, as did the spokesman for the UMP, Frédéric Lefebvre, Monday. If parliamentarians stick, and if this proves necessary budget, it in any case will not affect all households under the last tranche of the scale - those declaring an income greater than 70.830 euros per share, found the head of State. This would thus eventually create a sixth instalment for very high income. The Executive highlights the German example: ten years after you have removed the tax on wealth (in 1997), Berlin has created a range of additional tax for high income, greater than 250,000 euros per person. But this is not the only country to inspire members of Parliament: they also turn to the Denmark - who has swapped the ISF for increased taxation of securities capital gains - and Netherlands - which more tax revenues from capital.

The opposition already Cree fools market. "The UMP, it said that it is a white operation." Would you take the French for of fools This is still several billion euros to the wealthy! "found the MP Christian Eckert. The left is a claim the abolition of the tax shield three years, it is obviously far from approving the deal proposed by the majority.
