“The objective is to ensure that people who have worked all their lives, have built up a heritage, can bequeath it without having to pay inheritance costs”estimated the former Keeper of the Seals. “For the moment, the work that we are doing shows that from 4.2 million euros of assets, we can tax seriously”she clarified.
“We must correct inequalities further upstream, that those who have worked bequeath to their children, but further upstream”, she clarified. It is necessary that’“we correct the distortions of chance, and it is one of my projects with this project capital of 20,000 euros which will allow young people to start in life based on their talents, their efforts, their will”.
To benefit from it, each young person must “present your project” and will be “accompanied by a tutor in incubators with partner companies”.

“When we know that multimillionaires escape taxes, because their contribution rate is 10% while it is 40% on the middle classes, we see that there is a problem of tax injustice.judged the former Minister of Justice. We need tax justice. When I propose in this spirit of justice to take 1% from 10 million euros of heritage and up to 3% from a billion, it brings in 20 billion euros.
For this, Christiane Taubira pleads in particular for “stop capping and remove niches” by restoring a “ISF in other forms”.
