Adoption of an increase in the CSG on capital income. The measure adopted on Wednesday intends to raise an additional 2.8 billion euros in 2026. The measure increases the rate of a fraction of the CSG from 9.2% to 10.6%, which relates in particular to certain income from real estate, savings and investments, or capital gains on real estate and movable property.

Surtax on mutual insurance rejected. The deputies largely rejected on Wednesday evening the surtax on mutual insurance companies planned by the government to finance part of the suspension of the pension reform, believing that it would inevitably place the burden on the sick. This is one of the measures put on the table by the executive to finance the suspension of the Borne reform of 2023, promised to the socialists to achieve non-censorship.

The freezing of the CSG scale ruled out. The National Assembly massively opposed Wednesday the freezing of the CSG scale proposed by the government to save money, but shelled by the left, the RN, or even the Republicans, who see it as a measure “unfair”.
