Overview
- Lawmakers will first examine a government plan to raise taxes on patrimonial holdings before debating left-backed amendments to create a Zucman levy on fortunes above €100 million.
- Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is expected in the chamber and has ruled out any form of the Zucman tax, while asking Bercy to cost opposition proposals.
- The Socialist Party pitches a "light" alternative at 3% above €10 million excluding innovative and family businesses, with revenue claims ranging from €5–7 billion to €15 billion and criticism from both LFI and the center-right.
- Rassemblement National and centrist deputies say they will vote no as the PS maintains a censure threat, and the vote on the budget’s revenue section has slipped to mid‑November.
- Polling shows 74% support for taxing large fortunes, even as business groups and some economists warn of legal hurdles, avoidance risks and negative economic signals.
