The solidarity levy exemption will also apply to the private sector in 2022, as will the 3% reduction in insurance contributions. In businesses, the tax falls to 22% and even on a permanent basis. The capital accumulation tax is immediately reduced by half. We are introducing discounts for the Green capital. Small and medium enterprises that are merged from now on will be taxed at only 15.5%”.
