According to information from the Voices , the government plans to reduce the tax burden on households to 9.3 billion euros in taxes for next year. This figure also includes tax increases such as those on tobacco or the rise in energy taxation.
The tax burden will therefore drop sharply, a little more than 9 billion euros for households in 2020. Over three years, in 2018, 2019 and 2020, household taxes will have decreased by 20.6 billion , always in net. We must go back 20 years, in the late 1990s, when Lionel Jospin's government was in business, to find a comparable figure.

In terms of tax cuts in 2020, there are two major parts: 5 billion euros of income tax less for the middle classes and the last stage of the abolition of the housing tax for 80% the French.
The bill remains salty for the upper middle class
Yet not all households are housed in the same boat. The housing tax is maintained for the richest 20%. But these are not great fortunes. These are often taxpayers who, unlike the wealthy, paid only for ISF real estate - so for them the ISF reform voted at the beginning of the five-year period does not change anything, they continue to be taxed on the immovable.
It is also these same upper middle classes who have been subject to the cap on the family quotient decided under the previous five-year period. In short, senior executives, doctors, business leaders who are not fortunate enough to benefit from the end of the TFR but a little too much to take advantage of the majority of tax cuts. For them, the tax bill remains heavy.
