Reforming taxation is one of Daniel Gibbs' workhorses. In December 2017, a call for tenders was launched to recruit a consulting firm to help the COM in its reflection. Three firms responded, CMS Francis Lefebvre Avocats, Cabinet Fidal and Ernst & Young Avocats; Fidal was selected for his two-part service for an amount of 500 euros.
Phase 1 of the audit consisted in carrying out a diagnosis of the current tax system (strengths and weaknesses) and in analyzing the territory's competition in relation to its regional environment. Phase 2, by overhauling the tax system on the basis of the diagnosis, political objectives and future investment projects, by rewriting the general tax code and by organizing a local control center within the public finance directorate services (DGFIP).
“The job is done. The reform has been ready since 2019, ”says Daniel Gibbs, who is still awaiting the validation of the public finance department to implement it. "According to the organic law, the collection of taxes is carried out by the State, so we must make sure that our proposals are adapted to the systems of the State", he explains.
The president of the COM wishes to apply indirect taxation. “The reform aims to ease the tax burden. For that we must broaden the base, that is to privilege an indirect taxation ”, underlines it. He also wants to tax luxury goods more.
“We are awaiting the response from Bercy services on the consequences of the reform. As soon as we have it, we will be able to present it, ”says Daniel Gibbs.
