This must be the sentence that Bruno Le Maire has uttered the most since the start of his reign at Bercy – the longest of the Ve Republic – begun more than six years ago: “Taxes are not a solution, our policy is to lower the tax burden”, explained once more last May the Minister of Economy and Finance, as he had done it hundreds of times before.
But in the midst of a crisis – both budgetary given the level of debt and ecological with the acceleration of the effects of global warming – wouldn’t this mantra reach its limits? If the political discourse remains unchanged, the finance bill for 2024 that the government is in the process of finalizing for the fall provides for several tax and tax increases. Measures which reflect in particular the “greening” of taxation promised for several weeks but also the crusade launched once morest the profits of motorway companies.
