A five -year period hunts the other. In the fall of 2017, the first budget of the macron mandate was intended to be the tool of the transformative will on which the candidate on the march had been elected: reform of the taxation of capital with the abolition of the ISF and the implementation of The “flat tax”, beginning of the decline in the housing tax, significant increase in ecological taxation. In a context of economic upturn, the new executive also promised a renewed “serious” budgetary … and the return to balance of public accounts in 2022.
