Obtain a tax credit of 50 % or be able to deduct from your income the salary of your nanny or his cleaning lady. A tax niche that some consider it necessary. “It seems right to me since it promotes use behind”says a woman. “The price of work time in France is too expensive, people will deprive themselves of a cleaning lady. It will make unemployment”regret another.

These tax niches would be preserved, but the government wishes to plane certain tax credits. There are a total of 474, which represent 85 billion euros per year. In the most expensive niches, the research tax credit costs 7.7 billion euros. Personal services represent 6.8 billion euros, while the reduction on retirement pensions costs 4.9 billion euros. The Court of Auditors has listed 12 tax niches which earn less than 100 euros per beneficiary, but cost the state 2.2 billion euros each year.

“It would be necessary to minimize these tax niches, I think it is a global injustice. It would be necessary to tax more on the levels of global income and not have particular tax niches for such and such a person”estimates a man.

The executive, in search of savings, wishes to sort through all these aids. “There is a way to recover money provided that the policies have the courage to separate the good grain from the tares, that is to say to make the difference between the tax niches which do not have a proven social interest and which must be either planed or deleted, and those which have proven social interest”explains Philippe Bruneau, president of the Circle of Taxists. Today, no official list has yet been published. The Government relies on the audit of small measures little used or without clear objective.
