La TVA sociale : hausse des prix ou baisse des cotisations ?
Published on: 5/28/2025
Proponents of the social VAT argue that if the VAT increase is lower than the reduction in contributions, the prices of local products could remain stable or even decrease.
Opponents contend that the social VAT would exacerbate an already unjust system as it is a tax paid by everyone at the same rate, regardless of income. They fear it would benefit certain companies who could use the reduction in contributions to increase profits. Additionally, they worry that relying on VAT for social security funding would make it entirely dependent on economic growth. Finally, they point out that retirees, unable to expect pension increases, would be disproportionately penalized by the social VAT.
