“The government confirmed a temporary 75 percent super-tax rate for earnings over one million euros and a new 45 percent band for revenues over 150,000 euros. Together, those two measures will bring in around half a billion euros. Higher tax rates on dividends and other investments, plus cuts to existing tax breaks will bring in several billion more. The budget will also disappoint pro-reform lobbyists by merely freezing France’s high public spending rather than daring to attack ministerial budgets as Spain did this week in a bid to avoid the conditions of an international bailout.”
