The French government has unveiled new measures designed to support entrepreneurs, especially in areas like business succession and taxation. These initiatives include the "Papin" agreement, which allows employees to buy out companies, and the preservation of the Dutreil agreement, which promotes employee participation in company profits. Other elements of the plan include reducing the corporate tax surcharge, speeding up depreciation for industrial modernization, and adopting the principle of "silence implies agreement" with the tax administration. These policies were requested by CroissancePlus, a prominent organization representing entrepreneurs, and have been publicly supported on several occasions. The budget proposal includes profit-sharing and participation in the calculation of tax reductions, which is expected to generate 3.7 billion euros in revenue. Companies that offer profit-sharing or participation to employees will see their tax benefits reduced, and some employees may be entirely excluded from these benefits. This approach comes after the government previously abandoned the direct taxation of employee savings in September due to opposition from both employers and unions. Now, the cost is being shifted onto companies through a more indirect method. The government has long encouraged the sharing of value with employees, but this new policy turns that practice into a financial penalty for companies that engage in it. Despite the government's forecast of 0.5 percent economic growth in 2026, inflation reached 2.4 percent in August, and the poverty rate is at a historical high. Profit-sharing and participation are among the few tools available to improve the living conditions of employees. By penalizing these practices, the government risks worsening the sense of decline among workers. CroissancePlus supports the government's efforts to aid business succession and investment but criticizes the decision to penalize entrepreneurs who choose to share profits with their employees. Under this budget, companies that offer profit-sharing will end up paying more in taxes than those that do not. CroissancePlus emphasizes that sharing value is central to its mission. The organization has pledged to continue advocating for this principle in every parliamentary group. While the government's measures aim to support entrepreneurs, the way they are being implemented has raised concerns about fairness and the long-term impact on both businesses and employees.
