Despite the almost certain track of an appeal to 49.3, the executive is preparing to scrap in the hemicycle around the finance bill for 2023. The text, examined in finance committee from Tuesday, October 4 , then in session at the National Assembly on Monday 10, is already the subject of tightness between the majority and the oppositions.
It must be said that the context is far from favorable: the government no longer has an absolute majority at the Palais-Bourbon, and, if the oppositions have clearly warned that they would not vote the budget, the Executive wishes to avoid being put in the minority on the most emblematic measures. Negotiations have been carried out with majority figures and opposition upstream, but the latter did not allow everything to be removed.
A week before the start of the debate in the hemicycle, more than 1,500 amendments had already been deposited by the deputies in committee, the actuating of nourished and possibly eruptive discussions. One of the subjects crystallizing the dissatisfaction of the oppositions is the abolition of a tax weighing on companies, the contribution on the added value of companies (CVAE), which reports 8 billion euros per year to local authorities. Promise of candidate Macron during the campaign, the disappearance of this tax, deemed harmful for the competitiveness of the country, was to be acted in once from 2023. But the tense situation of public finances forced the government to spread its suppression over two years, In order to comply with the recovery trajectory of public accounts transmitted to Brussels.

Even under these conditions, the measure irritates local communities, the executive of which fears that the right does not make the megaphone during future debates, in the assembly but also in the Senate in the perspective of the senatorial elections From September 2023. The abolition of this tax comes, in fact, amputating the communities of part of their tax revenues, and, despite the promises of compensation to the nearest euro by Bercy, the latter are afraid of be losing. A subject all the more sensitive since they see their expenses climb under the effect of inflation. “The abolition of the CVAE is likely to break the link between the economic world and the territories, admits the vice-president of the finance committee, Véronique Louwagie, elected Les Républicains (LR), which is nevertheless favorable to its elimination . In the same way that the removal of the housing tax has cut this link between households and communities. We need a mechanism that really protects communities. “
