During the #Melenchon2027 meeting in Clermont-Ferrand, Marianne Maximi, a deputy from Puy-de-Dôme and vice-president of the parliamentary group La France insoumise, stated that the government budget was not aimed at reducing pressure and that children would be on the front line of its social policy. She attributed to the government a record of 10 million poor people, one third of whom are children, and criticized it for planning 54 billion euros in budget cuts without affecting the wealthiest. She also accused the government of advocating the trickle-down theory with the support of the far right, which she said opposed her group's proposals for taxing the rich. Finally, she labeled the RN as an extension of Macronism. (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that the fiscal cost corresponded to public spending and not to the taxes that financed it. He asserted that if the Government reduced spending, it would need to collect less and then it could be debated which taxes to lower. He defended the RIGI because, he said, it had a significant impact on production, and he referred to Mirrlees' optimal taxation theory to argue that it was beneficial to reduce taxes where elasticity was greater. Sturzenegger described part of public spending as useless and corrupt and claimed that reducing it would allow for a reallocation of resources towards production. He also anticipated that President Javier Milei would push for further spending cuts and new tax reductions. #Economía #Impuestos #GastoPúblico (translated)

Dividend King criticized an amendment which, according to him, would propose extending the duration of the Exit Tax to 15 years, compared to the current two or five years. He explained that this provision allowed the French state to tax the unrealized capital gains of certain taxpayers leaving the country, even if they had not sold their securities. According to his description, the taxation could be canceled if the securities were held for two or five years, depending on their value, but would become payable in the event of a sale before the end of the period. He also indicated that financial guarantees could be required depending on the destination country. Dividend King believed that a 15-year period would prevent taxpayers from selling without the French taxation on capital gains accumulated before their departure and could be contrary to European law. He added that the individuals concerned would still have to declare these capital gains to the French tax authorities, even after ten years of living and paying taxes in another country. He presented the amendment as a signal encouraging people to leave France before being subject to the Exit Tax and claimed that socialism ultimately erects barriers to prevent people from leaving. #ExitTax #Fiscalité #Expatriation (translated)

Dividend King wrote that Google made more than 20 times the profits of TotalEnergies in the second quarter of 2026 and, alone, nearly twice those of all the companies in the CAC 40. He added that he followed American news daily without seeing any media or American political leader calling for the nationalization of Google or a taxation of its "windfall profits" or "super dividends." He presented this as one of the many reasons why a significant portion of his wealth was invested in the United States. #Google #Bénéfices #CAC40 (translated)

LET'S TALK ABOUT TAXATION IN THE DRC Omitted declaration: the reminder triggers a five-day period Forgotten tax declaration? The reminder letter serves as a formal notice: you have five days from its receipt to regularize. This rule does not apply in cases of recurrence. Keep proof of delivery and act immediately. #TaxationDRC #Taxpayer RULE | Article 5 of the law on tax procedures, amended by Order-Law No. 005/2012 of September 21, 2012, provides for this five-day period. Article 89 sets a 25% increase when regularization occurs within this period. PRACTICE | Upon receipt, record the date, keep the receipt or envelope, and quickly submit the declaration with the necessary supporting documents. ANALYSIS OF THE MUSONGE | The reminder does not erase delays or penalties: it constitutes a final opportunity for regularization before automatic taxation. In cases of recurrence, this window does not apply. Primary source | Text published in the official documentation of the DGI. Le Musonge @MudimbiThierry #Fiscalité #RDC #Contribuable (translated)
