As the 2023 tax return campaign is launched this Thursday, the government wishes to place it under the sign of “
transparency
”, declared Gabriel Attal during a press conference.
Thus he announced the launch, at the end of the month, of an operation called "
Get it for my taxes
".
The goal: "
to make total transparency and to clearly tell the French how their taxes are spent today
", in the words of the Minister of Public Accounts.
It will take the form of an online platform, on which French people will be explained "
in concrete terms how their taxes are used, including in areas of intervention by the State and other public administrations to which they would not have perhaps not thought of, such as roads, cinema, transport…
”, specifies Bercy in his press kit.
“
The French will be able to see very easily and concretely how much a year of high school costs, a blood test, a kilometer of road or a TER station
”, illustrated Gabriel Attal.
Taxpayers will also be able to "
find at the level of their department the local variation of what their taxes finance
", added the Minister in charge of Public Accounts.
This synthesis will also be accessible in their prefecture, their tax center or their France services house, he said.

A consultation
In parallel with this online platform will be launched, still within the framework of this operation "
Get some for my taxes
", a consultation, "
so that each taxpayer can say directly how they think their taxes should be spent, on what priorities
" .
Gabriel Attal affirms that these opinions will be taken into account "
in the next financial texts and work that we lead to the government
".
Like Emmanuel Macron's "
Great National Debate
" following the "yellow vests" crisis, "
consultations, debates, consultations, exchanges, feedback will be organized throughout the territory.
“, but also online.
This series of public meetings will be launched on April 25 by the Minister of Public Accounts and his colleague from the Civil Service Stanislas Guerini.
A questionnaire should also be sent to taxpayers “
to gather their opinions
”.
The objective displayed by the government is clear: it is a question of reconciling the French with taxes.
“
We cannot act as if there was no deep questioning, doubt, from the French, and in particular those from the middle class, about the use made of their taxes
”, acknowledged Gabriel Attal.
"
Basically, many French people have the feeling that they don't always get their money's worth
," he added, believing that "
tax must elicit more than consent, it must encourage membership
”.
