A sharp change in the Senate. senators present in the semi-district on Monday rejected, by a show of hands, an article in the 2023 budget bill that removes the CVAE, the domestic production tax. The government will be able to restore its text using Article 49.3 of the National Assembly. At the end of a long debate, this vote, however, seems to contradict the results of previous elections achieved by public vote, by which absentees can express themselves.
Amendments from the left and centrists, specifically asking for the article to be deleted, were thus rejected by 179 votes.vs“and 160 votes”for“. The abolition of the Company Value Added Tax (CVAE) contribution is planned for two years in the Government’s Finance Bill 2023. In favor of eliminating production taxes, LR wanted to spare communities benefiting from the CVAE. providing a deadline to better prepare the compensation system planned by the government and considered too uncertain.
Thus, the Senate adopted the device proposed by the leader of the Republican senators Bruno Retjo shortly before the vote of the entire article, in order to delay the impact of the planned abolition of the CVAE for the communities through relief. During the session, an amendment championed by Christine Lavard (LR) was spearheaded by chief budget rapporteur Jean-Francois Husson (LR) in favor of delaying the government’s desired reforms for a year. But the vote was narrow (142 votes)for“and”133 votes against“). “LRs were in the minority in the session when the article was voted on” Socialist Remy Ferro told AFP to explain the unexpected final vote.
