VIDEO – Announcements should be made on cuts in the staff of the General Directorate of Public Finance and Customs, according to Les Echos . The Minister of Public Accounts, Gérald Darmanin, denies the figure of 20,000 posts mentioned by the daily.
It is a real slimming cure that would prepare in the tax administration. According to Les Echos this Monday, up to 20,000 positions could be removed during the five-year period as part of a reorganization of this service. The news should be announced to key stakeholders Wednesday at a meeting between the Minister of Public Accounts, Gérald Darmanin, and officials of the main branches dependent on his department, including the General Directorate of Public Finance (DGFIP) and that of Customs. The news was formally denied by the minister who, in a tweet, states that " Echoes write anything". However, the holding of the meeting is confirmed by the unions. "This is the first time that all the number one Bercy are invited. We can expect strong announcements, "says Figaro Anne Guyot Welke, National Secretary of Solidaires Finances Publics, the first union of the DGFiP.
The 20,000 job cuts advanced by Les Échos would be part of the 2022 Public Procurement Savings Plan, which aims to reduce the level of public spending by 4 percentage points of GDP to bring finances back into the green at the end of the five-year period. It is expected to result in 120,000 cuts in public positions in the three public offices (state, local and hospital) by 2022. For the state, the government expects 50,000 job cuts. According to The Echoes the Ministry of the Economy will be the biggest contributor with these some 20,000 deletions within the fisc

This decision would follow the changes expected by the tax administration in the coming years with the rise of the digitization of services, the end of the tax of housing or the levy to source. So many changes that according to Bercy do not justify the maintenance in the state of the DGFIP, one of the largest administrations of the State, which employs more than 100,000 agents for a budget of nearly 8 billion euros, according to the Court of Auditors. Last June, the Sages of the rue Cambon had published a report in which they also called for a review of the operation of the DGFIP. They recalled that the latter had certainly experienced since 2008 "a continuous decline in its resources (2000 job cuts per year on average)" making it "the main contributor to the control of the workforce of the state", but they advocated to go further by streamlining services, in particular by closing down the treasuries "whose numbers do not allow to ensure a continuous and quality service". Gérald Darmanin had already mentioned a track of reform with the removal of a duplicate in the procedure of payment of the largest local authorities which should lead to the suppression of more than a thousand positions of civil servants.

As part of this transformation, the Attorney General of the Court of Auditors had called for the removal of 30,000 agent posts. Although its recommendation was not retained in the final report, the unions feared that it would inspire the government. In a statement issued in the wake, Solidaires Finances Publics, the first union of the DGFiP, had solemnly asked the government to "commit to the non-application of the recommendations of the report of the Court of Auditors and consequently those of the public action committee 2022 ".
But according to Anne Guyot Welke, the wave of job cuts should still be confirmed. "We had already warned last year that we were headed for 18,000 to 20,000 job cuts. At the time, there was no denial, "she laments. "On our side, we would like there to be no suppression. There have been more than 38,000 since 2002 and no job creation since then there is a need, "she says. "We hear the arguments about the digital and the withholding but we do not validate them. Digital technology is not used today wisely. It must serve the mission and not be the tool of a liberal policy of job cuts. As for withholding taxes, covering the tax is not the role of companies but that of the state, "says the trade unionist. "Today, agents are exhausted. We have the feeling that we are the administration to be defeated while we carry out sovereign missions. We are waiting for Gérald Darmanin to tell us that he will stop the deletions. Otherwise, we will have to react, "she warns.
