Overview
- The amendment by Socialist MP Jérôme Guedj raises a fraction of the CSG rate from 9.2% to 10.6%, with about €2.8 billion expected in 2026.
- It passed 168–140 after many Renaissance and MoDem deputies backed the left, while LR, Horizons and RN opposed.
- The measure targets specific capital receipts including certain rental income, insurance‑contract proceeds, dividends, employee savings plans, PEL accounts and capital gains.
- Public Accounts Minister Amélie de Montchalin said the first‑reading vote enables further debate rather than enacting a final tax increase.
- Lawmakers also rejected a government surtax on mutual insurers and a freeze of the CSG scale, and an earlier similar PS proposal failed, exposing left‑wing divisions.
