Tax advantage to the newlyweds: "Promote sustainable family" - November 10, 2010
The government had announced the abolition of the tax advantage given to newlyweds and PACS year of their marriage in 2011. An amendment championed by some fifty UMP for its partial recovery has been approved in committee Wednesday morning. The government spokesman, Luc Chatel, reiterated his opposition to the project.
Lefigaro.fr: Why have tabled this amendment reinstating the tax benefit for honeymooners?
Herve Mariton: I support the reinstatement of this tax benefit for two reasons. The first is the fiscal logic: in France, the tax is about focus and not the individual. Before marriage we have two separate individuals, marriage creates a new home that can not be reduced to each individual who composes it cool business card.The second reason is a policy choice to encourage sustainable family, marriage as a structural element of society.
PACS couples also enjoyed the advantage, how do you justify that they are now excluded from its recovery?
The constitutional council has agreed in October last that the legislature was empowered to make decisions that apply differently depending on the marital relationship. I do not deny and do not criticize the legitimacy of the PACS. However Pacs and marriage create different legal frameworks. I am perfectly aware that the marriage may end in divorce and that PACS can last longer than a marriage. There is however a marriage of desire to build a more sustainable structure. This amendment is not a statutory anti-PACS because it also excludes the recipients of the divorced.It does not create cleavage with one hand, married and divorced and the other the de-PACS and PACS.
This raises the question of same-sex couples whose marriage is not allowed in France and will now be excluded from the beneficiaries even if they pacsent …
The improvement of gay rights is a real issue. I also think they clearly suffer from the fact that the PACS is also open to heterosexual couples professional business card . But as regards the marriage I am using the definition of the Civil Code which refers to the union of one man and one woman.
Restore this benefit is it to restore a tax shelter by the hour or the government chose to remove them?
This is not to restore a tax shelter but to preserve a system that has meaning for the stability of society.About sixty members support this amendment, and was voted Committee. It will be proposed at the meeting Monday night.
