The relief of the shield's growing supporters on the right

C ' is the last year it. "The note back loop yesterday at the UMP deputies, after the release of a new Centre Finance Committee amendment, which aimed to significantly alter the tax shield. At the request of the majority party, Didier Migaud (PS), President of the commission, agreed to a suspension of the meeting (despite the protests of Henri Emmanuelli) as uncertainty hung on the outcome of the vote: amendment, supported by the left, was co-signed by two deputies UMP (René Couanau, Jean-Yves Cousin)... It was finally rejected. Wednesday already Jean-Luc Warsmann (UMP) had caused a sensation by proposing, for the commission of the laws over which he presides, that the DRES is "out" of the calculation of the shield, which ensures that any taxpayer that paid tax (CSG, including DRES) cannot exceed 50 of income. The new Centre amendment provided just withdraw the CSG, the DRES and local taxes in the calculation of the shield.

The rapporteur of the Budget Gilles Carrez (UMP), admitted the commission that there should be term excluding the CSG and CRDS, while referring the decision to next year. "This will need to be at the same time to increase the rate of the DRES, which will be inevitable to pay the social debt," said a UMP member. The relief of the shield's growing supporters on the right. But the Prime Minister, François Fillon, insisted Tuesday with members of the majority on the necessity of sticking in the coming weeks: no question to abandon the "trophy" to the opposition. The Elysée also believes that elected UMP overshoot because they are bad history by current tax reforms (professional tax, carbon tax). "Should the cold-blooded, pleaded the General Secretary of the UMP, Xavier Bertrand, yesterday."

Establishments "best."

"This case is so big, so unfair, so unbearable in a period of crisis, even to the right, even those who voted this tax shield are in uncertainty, in questioning, in remorse," said Michel Sapin. Refunds in respect of the tax shield should reach 700 million euros this year (instead of the anticipated 650) and 700 million in 2010, against 463 million in 2008.

If the élyséen veto remains very firm on the shield - "if it passes an exception, as for example the CSG, is a shield", says Nicolas Sarkozy, in "Le Figaro"-, the game appears more open about the additional fee to the corporation tax for banks, 10, adopted Wednesday night in the Committee. Henri Guaino, Advisor of the head of State, said yesterday on BFM that there was not favourable: "are too serious to be treated like topics to the will-soon.".He believes that the question of the profits of banks must be set to level international (at the g-20), while acknowledging that "members have posed a real problem" by putting forward the important gains made by financial institutions after having benefited from the support of States. "It is the role of Parliament to discuss and decide", he added. "French banks will be still more taxable as before will be even more difficult to obtain credit for SMEs", it is violently Laurence Parisot, President of the Medef, yesterday at the Women's Forum.

The Elysee as the Government have noted that many UMP deputies had supported the amendment by Didier Migaud. Like Chantal Brunel: "taxpayers have helped banks that find themselves in a beneficial situation and distribute bonuses", justifies. Nicolas Sarkozy believes nevertheless that "the banks have responded to our expectations and become copies (...)". "the assistance that provided them the State has been beneficial to taxpayers."
