In the evening of March 27th, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal was asked about a possible increase in taxes for the wealthiest during his 8 p.m. set on TF1. He stated that he was open to considering credible proposals from parliamentarians, social partners, and associations of elected officials. Attal emphasized that France is not a tax haven for anyone and highlighted the country’s national wealth tax and real estate wealth tax, known as the IFI. He pointed out that 10% of French people pay 70% of income tax, which is unique compared to other European countries.
When it comes to super profits taxation, Attal mentioned that he does not have a fixed stance on the issue, despite it being a divisive topic within his majority. He did not rule out changing taxation on the super profits of energy companies, which only brought in 600 million euros in 2023. However, he set two red lines: no tax increase for the middle classes and retirees and no increase in taxes for businesses.
