Community Council – Budget: ‘biggest risk is getting none’

They will never agree. City council budgets follow each other every year, and the opposition always comes down to one vote and only one vote, the elected Creuzot’s Charles Landren. “You always say the same thing,” replies CUCM President David Marty.

Admittedly, Charles Landre would have liked his colleagues to reinforce his views after his presentation of the 2023 preliminary budget (read below) in Saint-Sernin-du-Bois on Tuesday evening, but no one lifted a finger.

In the troubled context of a succession of crises, Daniel Meunier, the first vice-president for finance, presented a budget that “30 million euros, and even for the area that has become an investment budget, emphasizes the desire to invest tirelessly. 52 million € all budgets combined,” notes David Marti.

Faced with Charles Landren’s criticism that “your 2023 budget is a copy of previous budgets” or even “your vision for the territory is a tax budget”, the president extends the pole to him. “What is your vision? What can be done with 7% inflation without playing with financial leverage? Submit a counter budget, do it! »

David Marty adds: “Fiscal leverage _ a tax base logically set by the State at 7% as inflation, but actually 6.2% _, you are against it. But without these levers, household taxes would be much higher. This 7% increase, we want it.” He further clarifies, “You are never for receipts, always for expenses. Revenues are down 0.78% and we need to maintain public services and investment. How are we going to do it if we don’t turn the levers? (read the chapter on taxation below).

The president of the urban community of Creusot Montceau then quotes the head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg: “The biggest risk is not to buy any.” It’s all said and done.

TAX

In terms of taxation, it should be noted that property tax, household waste tax and property contribution for companies will remain at the same level as in 2022.

In addition, tax levers will be activated to serve the strategic objectives of CUCM in terms of improving the development of the area, maintaining public services and making the necessary investments.

• Reassessment of the minimum CFE base

Companies liable to the CFE are required to pay a minimum contribution set in accordance with the basic amounts set by the EPCI, if the rental value is too low, if the buildings are not available. The 2023 finance bill calls for the abolition of the CVAE. Thus, companies with a turnover of less than 500,000 euros will benefit from significant tax benefits.

It should be noted that 85% of companies have a CVAE contribution greater than the increase in the minimum contribution to CFE, and only 15% of companies in this bracket will see an increase in their professional contribution.

Micro-enterprises will be unaffected or minimally affected by this revaluation.

For others, the amounts will be adjusted to the declared turnover and calculated according to the basis defined by EPCI.

• Evolution of the tax multiplier on commercial surfaces (TASCOM)

TASCOM is a tax for businesses with a sales area of ​​more than 400 m², generating a turnover (CA) of over €460,000 excluding tax. The increase of the TASCOM coefficient from 1.2 to 1.3% is proposed within 2 years and is conditioned by the implementation of a reduction of property tax on shops and stores with less than 400 million manats, which can vary between 1-15%.² and not integrated into the commercial unit.

• Trade waste tax

Professional buildings that do not belong to the field of activity of KMI and remain vacant for 2 years are considered commercial waste.

However, the non-use tax exemption does not apply to owner-occupied buildings or industrial buildings.

The purpose of this tax is to limit the lack of interest of existing buildings in favor of new construction, so it is part of the call to improve existing buildings that serve the attractiveness of the area. The progressive evolution of this tax over the next few years should allow improving the attractiveness of the area by promoting a dynamic image.

The impact of the assessment of the minimum CFE and the creation of a tax on commercial waste will not occur until 2024.
