1 million of taxpayers subject to the first tax bracket 5

Consultations with the social partners since last week, the Executive should accept the proposal of the CFDT to create a social fund for the training of the public the most in difficulty.

The tax cut to low income

But surprise, 2.1 million of taxpayers subject to the first tax bracket (5.5) the income will be exempt from the payment of the second third instalment, to be paid on May 15 at the latest. For monthly taxpayers, minority in the first instalment, the exemption will intervene in the fall: they will be exempted from the payment of three monthly payments (which is, in principle, 30 of the annual tax), the fourth being reduced by a third party about. Taxpayers who pay less than 327 euros of tax solve them, all of their tax to the re-entry of September. For them, the amount payable will be thus amputated from a third party.

Claimed by the CFDT, the extension of the measure to the 12 million people submitted to the second tax bracket (14) is excluded: it would represent a near cost of EUR 6.5 billion. The Government has attempted to see if he could identify taxpayers somewhere just above the first instalment, and that declare barely more than 11.673 euros of revenue per year. Shortly readable, the measure seems however difficult to implement.

An increase in

family benefits

Always to focus on "the bottom of the middle classes", the Elysee Palace would announce boost to family benefits. Problem: family allowances benefit 5 million homes, and they are allocated no resources conditions. A generalized recovery would have the effect of a dusting, and would benefit affluent households in the poorest. To avoid reopening a thorny debate family associations reject the idea of the conditions of resources for the "allocs" , a solution would be to book assistance to 3 millions of beneficiaries of the allocation of school, or a part of them. It is awarded under conditions: must be currently earn less than 21.991 euro per year with a child, less 27.066 euros with two children and 32.141 euros with three children. Another possible solution, assistance which would be attributed to the beneficiaries of the housing allowances. Moreover, the State should launch an employment-service cheque that he would fund at least part of destination families and the elderly.

A Fund for the training of the public in difficulty

There is the principle and reality. The principle is the proposal of the Secretary General of the CFDT François Chérèque, create a social investment fund which would be sort of counterpart support to banks. The idea of creating a structure thus focused on the training of employees in difficulties (unemployment, partial and not employees or low-skilled unemployed) did fly with the Executive and the President of the Republic should record the creation of such a Fund today. But Nicolas Sarkozy should return its precise timing in discussions with the social partners, including.

However, it is clear that there is no question for him to credit the funds to the "5 to 10 billion euros" that claims the CFDT. The social fund probably announced today should look like a patchwork. It could aggregate the 200 million euros registered in the joint emergency fund to train workers in difficulty (unemployed, partial unemployed, low-skilled) and the complement of 160 million euros that the State is ready to pay.

Reinforced measures of job-seekers (vocational transition contract financed by the State and custom reclassification convention on unemployment insurance-funded) may also be recorded. The Fund could also be appeal to the competent regions on the training of young people and public in trouble, and coming to recover 600 million euros from the State for the training of job-seekers.

Better compensation

partial unemployment, premium

for youth and the CSD

The President of the Republic is committed on 5 February to improve compensation for partial unemployment. The State will have difficulty to out of hand in the Pocket. Employers and unions have already sealed off an agreement falling within the amount of the allowance of 50 to 60 of the salary and the Medef will not reopen the case. Unedic could also put a little money to the pot, as was done in 1994. Moreover, the effort announced by Nicolas Sarkozy two weeks for young people arriving on the labour market and the employees at the end of CSD should materialize in a premium of 200 to 300 euros.
