Ways to get paid more than the CAC 40 companies

More companies are large and they carry less of the corporate tax. A fact known and already singled out by the board of tax and the Treasury, but on which a report of the National Assembly published on Wednesday by MP Gilles Carrez sheds new light.

Comparing the amounts paid under the corporate tax (IS) for all companies in France, the general rapporteur of the budget to the National Assembly was able to quantify the difference in tax burden between small businesses and the largest. "The real tax burden borne by small firms is 20 points higher than for large groups," says Gilles Carrez on Wednesday in Les Echos. A "drop that occurs across large groups internationalized," said the rapporteur.

The corporate tax paid by large groups of the CAC 40 is in fact much lower than that paid by SMEs. For four of them, it was even zero between 2007 and 2009, the report quoted by Les Echos. 10 billion euros in total was paid by the CAC 40 companies between 2007 and 2009 for the SI, including tax credits. Is, 86 million per group per year, representing only 0.4% on average of their turnover in France. The four companies which the state is a shareholder (France Telecom, EDF, GDF Suez and Renault) will make an exception, with a gross rate IS 40%.

Enclose tax loopholes

Gilles Carrez explains this differential taxation depending on the size of the company by the existence of tax loopholes that benefit large groups mostly internationalized.This is the deductibility of financial expenses from taxable income or the deferral limit deficits. These groups' benefit, legally, the opportunities available to them: the maximum charge in France expenses related to foreign operations, "expatriate" certain products under activities carried out in France, "said Gilles Carrez.

To avoid a stagnation of revenues SI "to a lower level than pre-crisis", the rapporteur suggests a framework for these tax loopholes enjoyed by the full CAC 40 companies. "Why not cap the financial expenses deductible, as are the Germans? It would be a kind of IS minimum. We could also return certain products, "he recommends.

According to Les Echos, the Elysium is the least prepared, as part of Budget 2012, a time limit on the deferral limit deficits.The regime of worldwide profits, which benefits mainly to Total and Vivendi could also be questioned. A debate that could beat its full part in the presidential election.

Louis Welsh defends freedom of Air France

"Air France has to make choices according to their needs." This is the answer unequivocally given by the president of EADS hundred members who pushed Air France, earlier this month, Airbus to prefer its U.S. rival Boeing. June 12, a petition launched by the UMP Bernard Carayon called the French airline (15.7% owned by the French government) to show European patriotism, when placing the next order giant had long haul. Expected this summer, the contract of tens of billions of dollars would move more towards a hundred Boeing 787 "Dreamliner."

For Louis Welsh MPs that pressure is unnecessary. "I remind you that 95% of aircraft we are producing for export," says the director in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche.From the first days of the Paris Air Show, which closes its doors Sunday night, the European aircraft manufacturer has announced an almost unexpected rain control, supported by contracts negotiated with the giant companies in emerging countries. Wednesday and Thursday, the group recorded two commands including records, first with the Indian carrier IndiGo, on 180A350, 150 Neo, then with Air Asia, with 200 A320 Neo, is the largest order in the history of civil aviation. "These emerging markets provide the" A "and represent over two-thirds of the global market. Our 730 orders and commitments demonstrate that our products meet the expectations of these new customers, "supports Louis Welsh, referring to the plebiscite met by Neo A320 aircraft during the rally.

Hunt on the lands of Boeing

Overall, therefore, the European group put on emerging countries to take advantage of an aerospace market returned to a "dynamic," says Louis Welsh. If political disagreements today Stems certain contracts, the group can always rely on its broad technological superiority to convince companies of those countries developing their flights to Europe and the United States. And ambitions of the European aircraft manufacturer does not stop there, the group wishes to continue to hunt on the lands of his rival always, Boeing.Referring to the age or obsolescence, of much of the fleet of U.S. airlines, the leader discount surf the success garnered at Le Bourget and "large needs to renew its fleet" (U.S. companies ) to increase its influence across the Atlantic.

For the remainder of the year, Gap's performance will mainly be sealed by far outweigh the cost estimates on which was based management. "The group now expects that production costs per unit are 20% more expensive than anticipated in the second half of this year," said Glenn Murphy, the owner of Gap, in a statement.And even the price increases passed on its products will not help. Thus the net profit per share forecast for 2011 is now between 1.40 and 1.50 dollars, 1.88 to 1.93 against dollar before.

The cost increase is attributable to that in cotton. Pound of cotton surpassed the dollar in September (+65% in total over the year 2010) and continues its surge in currently trading at $ 1.60, amid global demand is not falling face a production which has been beset by bad weather.

The profit warning, issued by one of the largest textile groups in the world should thrill the sector as a whole. Especially as other major brands like H & M, struggling not to pass on these higher charges on their prices.The impact could be even heavier.

Change of course at the Gap

In early May, the art, warmth director Patrick Robinson, 42, joined Gap. Whoever was working since May 2007 to provide the Californian label image sharper mode has been replaced by Jennifer Giangualano, senior vice president of design and infant child, who resumed the post in the interim. Or comparable to the "fast fashion" or the lucrative "second line", the world of jeans and, overall, the casualwear is in perpetual motion.

A Chinese man puts his hand on Saab

New twist in the soap Saab. The automaker based in Sweden could eventually be bought by Chinese Hawt. The latter plans to invest 120 million euros in exchange for a maximum of 29.9% in the mark, says a press release from Saab issued following an agreement signed in Beijing Tuesday. Hawt will also provide 30 million euros in the form of convertible loan with a maturity of six months and an interest rate of 7%. This will allow the company to pay its suppliers and boost its production to a standstill since mid-April. However, the group expects green light from the Chinese authorities, the European Investment Bank and the Swedish National Debt Office.

"This agreement provides funding in the medium term and consists of an investment in the form of subscription agreements totaling 150 million euros, and a strategic alliance to China including co-generation companies, technologist and distribution, "said Victor Muller, CEO Spyker, owner of Saab. "With clean diesel technology Hawt, its production capacity and its ambitious development programs, we found the right partner to develop Saab," he added easy payday loans.

Former Russian shareholder rejected for now

For now, no details are given about the fate of the former shareholders of Spyker, the Russian businessman Vladimir Antonov and friend of Victor Muller.Last week, the Swedish Debt and General Motors, Saab's previous owner, always very involved in group activity, have approved its proposed $ 30 million stake in Spyker to take a 29.9% interest in Saab. This investment should be made through the financial group Convers controlled by Antonov. The decision was rejected by the Swedish government for suspected ties to the Russian businessman with organized crime.

Premium for employees: Lagarde forced against any amount

On Monday, Minister of Economy and Finance said on LCI it was not in favor of "binding" of the project value premium "exceptional" employees of companies that pay dividends. It indicates rather consider "a mechanism for excluding social security" so that companies can distribute the envelopes to their employees. For the resident of Bercy, no question that the government imposing the measure unilaterally. According to her, he is "very important that the amounts, terms, how everything fits together is negotiated between employers on the one hand, and other employee representatives."

As for the amount of the premium, it must be considered, according to Minister of Economy, as the ceiling up to which the state will charge exemptions.Furthermore, they related only to the premiums actually paid, she said, ruling out an exemption for very small (very small). For these provisions "should apply as soon as possible, these should be included in the draft supplementary budget of June, the Minister added.

The chamber was quick to applaud such statements. "Yes, this is good news," responded the president, Laurence Parisot, a few minutes at the microphone of France Inter. Judging from the minister's "very reassuring", the boss of bosses, however, has protected it from a flat.She expects to "see the mechanism" referred to by the government in "this idea of ​​connection with the distribution of dividends."

A change of edge is drawn

The government, which seemed to have made it a point to upward pressure on wages and hence purchasing power, he changed his tune? Less than a week after the announcement of this premium Baroin, the budget minister, and two days later Xavier Bertrand, Minister of Labour, recalled its "mandatory", it is a change edge that emerges. As support for this thesis, the Ministry of Economy is expected to announce on Monday the wage freeze in the civil service in 2012, according to Les Echos payday loans guaranteed no fax. And that, for the second consecutive year.

For now, only seems to increase the current minimum wage by about 2% by this summer."It is very likely that we will have a minimum wage increase of 2% on 1 July," said Christine Lagarde has on LCI. It could go from 1365 to 1392 euros euros, with an hourly wage of 9.18 euros. But this is not a direct measure sought by the government. Because this increase is included in the texts: it is "automatic", as the Labor Code, when the price rises to 2% year since its last adjustment.

Opposition side, the government is already positioning cringe. Monday, Pierre Laurent, the secretary general of the Communist Party, spoke of "hocus-pocus" on the draft government bonus. "The case smells of scam, full nose," he said in a statement.Nicolas Sarkozy tries again to exist in an area where it has particularly failed: the purchasing power of the French. "To the General Labour Confederation (CGT), the pill is probably as hard to swallow. In a statement dated April 13, she aspired to include "a general increase in salaries of the public" as private, "a minimum wage to 1,600 euros," and to "do away with random forms of compensation."

Minister against a debt restructuring

Christine Lagarde has opposed any debt restructuring, Greek, Irish and Portuguese. LCI, she described the possibility of potentially "catastrophic", referring to the "greatest difficulty" would have to run these countries to reconsider the financial markets. Asked if he had to restructure the debt of Greece, Christine Lagarde said in a firm with a triple 'no'."This is not [to] talk to," she added.

Pact for the Euro: Eastern Europe hostile

For Hungary and the Czech Republic is not. Prague or Budapest or accept the pact to join the euro, introduced at the request of Germany and France to prevent non-members of the eurozone new debt crises, and adopted at the summit European 24 and 25 March in Brussels.

The pact aims to strengthen mechanisms for monitoring and rapid reaction within the eurozone, for situations similar to those of bankruptcy occurred during autumn 2008 in the most fragile economies of the EU (Hungary, Estonia ).

This ambition has met with resistance from some capitals, who see the pact as an infringement of the independence of their fiscal policies: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Great Britain and Sweden have chosen to remain outside this strategy."The meeting on Friday, March 25 in Brussels has focused on a radical new limitation of the sovereignty of member countries of the EU, on Monday lost his temper very eurosceptic Czech President Vaclav Klaus.

In the wake of the Head of State, the Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas, said he regretted that countries outside the euro zone were not consulted prior to the measures constituting the pact. He has not ruled out that the Czech Republic to join later.

Tax competition

Before Klaus, Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, whose country holds the EU presidency until June 30, had already expressed its categorical refusal to accept the pact cash advance flexible payments. "Right now, the Hungarian government decided not to join the pact for the euro, he said March 22.After consultation with the parties in Parliament, I can say that the desire to maintain the independence of our tax policy is unanimous. "The aim of the pact does not encourage tax competition. But a country economically weaker can hardly do without such a measure, "says Minister for Foreign Affairs Janos Martonyi.

However, the pact partially limits the discretion of governments, promoting a "convergence" of fiscal policies, particularly for the corporation tax, a strict limitation of government debt and wage moderation.

The rising discontent in Central and Eastern Europe. After Slovenia and Slovakia, some neighbors are still hoping to join the euro in 2013 or 2014, but a fundamental change is taking place in public opinion increasingly hostile to single currency.In a recent survey, 78% of Czechs said they were against. Hungary, she no longer hopes to join the euro before 2020.
