Good surprise for the department of public Accounts. Set in 2018, the tax on the real estate asset (IFA), which replaces the ISF since last year, and the levy one-time lump sum (PFU) on financial income have been reported about a billion euros more than expected, announced Wednesday the minister of the Action and of the public Accounts Gérald Darmanin. In other words, the reform of the taxation of the capital of Emmanuel Macron, brocardée by the "yellow vests", has cost a billion euros less than expected.

The IFIS has been reported to 1.25 billion euros, 400 million more than expected. But well below the TFR, of course, which taxed the entire estate and not just real estate, and had reported $ 4.1 billion in 2017. The PFU has generated 3,45 billion euros, or 600 million more than what had been anticipated Bercy, said Gérald Darmanin in response to questions by the general rapporteur of the finance committee, Joël Giraud (LREM).

the revenues of the State have, in general, reported 6.1 billion euros more than planned in 2018, has pointed Joël Giraud. And for good reason, the performance of "other tax revenue" exceeded the forecasts of 4.5 billion euros. According to Gérald Darmanin, this is "mainly due" to the taxes on gifts and estates. "It is difficult to predict the future" in this matter, apologized to the minister.
