After the drop in the corporate tax, lower taxes on profit-sharing and taxation of capital, "the next step is the decline in production taxes, launched the head of state.
"But it will go with a next stage of economy" of public spending, economies "at the right pace, which do not weaken the weakest".
Production taxes include all the taxes paid by companies, regardless of the amount of their profits, such as the company land subscription (CFE), the social solidarity contribution of companies (C3S), the tax on built land and the value-added contribution of companies (CVAE).
In France, these taxes represent a quarter of the tax on businesses, placing the country second in Europe behind Sweden, according to a report by the Montaigne Institute.
The head of state also encouraged entrepreneurs to quote him to ask the tax authorities, the labor inspectorate or Urssaf to benefit from the "right to make mistakes" to avoid being sanctioned at the first breach. .
"You can say it from me: when someone comes in and for the first time puts you in the socket, you say I put you right now the full penalties, you can tell him, I saw the president of the Republic, he told us that there is the right to make mistakes! ", He said. If they do not know you write to me! "And" it will be corrected !.
"Never be afraid and never give up," he urged them with enthusiasm, under the applause. "There would be reasons to doubt every day, anyone who wants to move things can have the same state of mind, sometimes it can happen to me, but (there is) not a morning where I do not get up saying to myself, not the right to hesitate (...) because it is now that it is played ".
