French Front-Runner Pledges 75% Tax Bracket
Keywords:
Tags: France,
France's Socialist party presidential candidate, Francois Hollande, says taxpayers earning more than 1 million euros will be placed in a 75% tax bracket if he is elected. He said the corporate executive pay in France now exceeds 2 millon euros. A 2009 French Senate study shows the richest 0.01% of French taxpayers earn an average of 1.22 million euros. There are 3,523 such households, and the extra tax revenue from the 75% tax will be small. The French Senate study showed these taxpayers paying an effective tax rate of 17.5%. President Sarkozy had imposed a 3% temporary increase in taxes for those earning more than 500,000 euros a year. Hollande also plans to tax those earning more than 150,000 euros a year at a marginal tax rate of 45% instead of the current 41%, and a the same time cut taxes for small and midsized companies.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
