The presidential majority has been clear: it intends to fight for the purchasing power of French women and men. According to the party of the President of the Republic, this involves the payment of bonuses rather than salary increases… or via the conversion of certain types of leave, informs La Dépêche on its site. Indeed, the new bill in favor of purchasing power, adopted at first reading in the National Assembly on the night of July 21 to 22, 2022, bears witness to this. One of the amendments, tabled by the Renaissance group, provides for the possibility for workers not to take their RTT against payment.

It is therefore difficult not to think of the famous “work more to earn more”. Nicolas Sarkozy’s mantra, however, will only apply for certain RTTs, inform our colleagues. Can only be paid for days not taken and acquired between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2023. The payment of RTT would also be exempt from any social contribution.

The right, for its part, intends to go even further. Indeed, it proposes an even greater tax exemption than that envisaged by the government. They offer a total exemption from income tax for the employee who decides not to take his RTT.

It remains to be seen, that being said, how to finance such a shortfall for the State. As so often, it is the charge transfer policy that seems the most likely. In this case, it would be an increase in taxation weighing on the price of tobacco, explain our colleagues.
