"Reducing taxation is a prerequisite for reviving the economy and getting the country out of the rut," says Éric Ciotti, who suggests "an evolution, of the + flat tax + type" (single tax rate) on income in which "there would only be two or three rates".
The candidate for the presidency of LR, who passes for the favorite, also proposes to "reduce compulsory levies to 40% of GDP, both for households and for businesses".
While the reduction rate on donations is 100,000 euros every fifteen years, Éric Ciotti advocates "improving" this scale and "recharging" this right "every five years", in line with his idea of abolition of inheritance tax.
Other avenues put forward six days before the first round of this internal election: raise the ceiling of the family quotient, remove VAT on fuel and energy and lower social security contributions "so that the net salary approaches the gross salary".
"We need a fiscal shock", going through a reduction in public spending, he adds: "Let's save money on the social state".
Éric Ciotti thus pleads for "a cap on social benefits, a lower level of unemployment compensation, that the RSA be conditional on an activity".
