How will be compensated
the carbon tax?
Michel Rocard, who chaired the group of experts responsible for studying this tax, believes that the compensation mechanism is "not yet developed".
The carbon tax continues to be talked about, on the eve of the submission of a report on the subject to the government. Michel Rocard, who chaired the group of experts responsible for drawing up this report, thus ruled, on Monday July 27, on RMC, that the compensation for this tax for households and businesses was "not yet developed" and that the tax administration had to "work on it".
This compensation will be "in the form of a check to households and relief from employers' social charges for companies, and even financial repayment as for households", he said.
"Revolutionary measure" for Cohn-Bendit
The leader of Europe-Ecology, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, qualifies him this carbon tax of "revolutionary measure", in an interview published by Les Echos. "It is the beginning of a transformation of the tax", he declared, while asking Nicolas Sarkozy to "hold good" because it is "a fair idea, proposed besides by the Grenelle of the environment".
More wary, the General Confederation of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (CGPME) on Monday called for a study of the "economic impact" of the future tax before its implementation, and its compensation by "an equivalent reduction in the taxation ".
