After long waiting, the promises of savings promised by Emmanuel Macron are now imminent. In the absence of publishing the "Public Action 2022" report that fueled the reflections, the government should indicate throughout the summer how it intends to reduce spending, department by department. As to show the example, the administration of Bercy will inaugurate the procedure. At the end of the cabinet meeting, Wednesday, the Minister of Action and Public Accounts, Gérald Darmanin, will bring together the main directors of his administration to announce a restructuring unprecedented magnitude.
As the feared unions Bercy the day after the election of Emmanuel Macron, the Ministry of Economy and Finance should contribute largely to the 50,000 deletions of posts planned for the five-year period in the state. "Last year, we estimated that the Directorate General of Public Finance (DGFIP) could suffer 18,000 to 20,000 job cuts. The management has never denied us " laments Anne Guyot Welke, spokesman of the union Solidaires finances public
Investment in the digital
Digitization, disappearance of the tax of habitation, and in the long term the withholding tax which will transfer the collection of the tax to the companies: a whole series of factors have led to a reduction in the number of employees in the tax administration, which has already been the main contributor to the decline in the number of government employees in recent years, with 2,000 jobs being cut each year, a rate of non-replacement of retirements by about 60% The trend will accelerate "We could aim for reductions in the workforce of about 4,000 agents per year from 2019" es CFDT Finance, in a statement.
In reality, this pace, which presupposes going beyond retirements (nearly 3,500 per year) should not be reached next year, because The executive still has to negotiate with the unions of civil servants the conditions of the "voluntary departure plans" mentioned in the spring by Gérald Darmanin. The number of job cuts in the medium term (around 5 years, ie beyond 2022) is expected to be slightly below 20,000.
In a recent report, the Court of Auditors proposed restructuring plans for this administration, resulting from the merger ten years ago of the General Directorate of Taxes and the General Directorate of Public Accountancy. The public prosecutor at the Court of Auditors estimated that the DGFIP could cut another 30,000 jobs, or 30% of its workforce, in a scenario where it would invest heavily in the digital and review in depth its missions. These observations were not retained by the magistrates in the final report but they already set the scene.
Transfer of the recovery
The committee "Public Action 2022", constituted last autumn to propose reforms, has also looked at a whole series of measures concerning Bercy. The transfer of part of the customs recovery to the DGFIP seems to be taking place, knowing that the customs officials would keep the most relevant taxes in relation to their missions, such as extra-Community VAT or the TICPE (internal tax on the consumption of energy products). The treasuries, still numerous, should be regrouped.
In the same logic, it is question of having only one service of the taxes of the companies and a service for the individuals by department, according to the CFDT. The report of the Court of Auditors also suggested creating a single land registration service and transferring the land register (for its topographical part) to the National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN). Proposals that have a good chance of being included in the final project
