Obviously elected officials were not used to reading such a high level of tax revenue from the community budget. The leader of the MJP, Louis Mussington, noted "with satisfaction an interesting recovery effort" in the plenary session of the territorial council last Friday. Jules Charville considered that it was perhaps ambitious to include such forecasts due to the economic context (end-of-year blockades and coronavirus).
President Daniel Gibbs justified the recording of € 117 million in tax revenue, including € 26 million from TGCA based on collections made in 2019.
"It's a record year," said Alain Contant, the paying treasurer in charge of collection. "100,4 million were collected without counting the approximately 3 million harvested after December 20 but not counted in 2019 because the Banque de France had stopped collections," he explained.
This upward trend was confirmed in January 2020. Contrary to what one might have thought following the blockages in December, the revenues from the TGCA did not decrease in January *, revenues which correspond to the figures of business done December. 2,32 million euros were raised, 778 euros more than in December. Tourist tax revenues are also much higher: 700 euros compared to 226 euros in December (+200 euros). (soualigapost.com)
* The TGCA is to be paid before the 15th of the month; therefore the TGCA for the month of December was due on January 15th.
