Baisser de 100 milliards les impôts et cotisationsFondation iFRAP
Cet écart trouve sa cause dans nos cotisations employeur qui sont bien supérieures à celles des Britanniques et des Allemands (11,6 points de PIB face à 4,1 et 6,6). À noter que les cotisations salariées sont plus faibles au Royaume-Uni mais plus lourdes en Allemagne car plus équilibrées entre employeur et employé. Ajouter à cela, le poids terrible des taxes sur la production (98 milliards d’euros en France, 19 en Allemagne, 36 au Royaume-Uni). Et, pour l’impôt sur les sociétés, les entreprises britanniques et allemandes paient 6 milliards d’euros de moins que les entreprises françaises.
Pour les ménages, l’addition de l’impôt sur le revenu aux taxes locales et à la CSG fait apparaÎtre que les premiers niveaux de revenus sont bien moins imposés en France qu’au Royaume-Uni et cela certainement car les revenus de la solidarité sont imposés outre-Manche comme les revenus du travail. Pour les ménages au niveau médian de revenus (entre 2 200 euros et 3 200 euros par mois), le taux d’impôt payé est à peu près comparable au Royaume-Uni. Pour les dernières tranches, le poids de l’impôt est comparable aux autres pays uniquement grâce à l’existence des niches fiscales tant décriées.
En matière de fiscalité du capital des ménages, le taux d’imposition est clairement exorbitant. Nous sommes le seul pays à conserver un impôt sur la fortune aussi lourd doublonnant avec les taxes foncières. Sur les revenus du capital, les Britanniques ont baissé la pression fiscale ces dernières années, tandis que la France l’a énormément augmentée, en imposant au barème de l’impôt sur le revenu les revenus du capital, situation unique en Europe. Les Allemands paient au final 58 milliards d’euros de moins que les Français sur le patrimoine (revenus et stocks).
Plutôt que d’un grand soir fiscal c’est d’une réforme pensée et réfléchie dont nous avons besoin, afin de reconstituer des marges de manoeuvre et de renforcer l’attractivité de notre économie, permettant de faire revenir nos fortunes, nos créateurs et nos talents. Nous formulons 10 propositions à 80 % sur les entreprises et à 20 % sur le capital, telle est la recette pas politiquement correcte qui nous permettra de créer à nouveau des entreprises et des emplois en France. Mais il sera indispensable de faire des économies pour 100 milliards d’euros car la pression fiscale est partout au maximum dans l’Hexagone.
