La fin de la fiscalité locale

Abstract

Local taxes with fiscal power for local authorities arte gradually being dismantled by State tax reductions which lead to the abolition of these taxes. The financing of decentralization is therefore increasingly dependent on the sharing of national tax revenues. The impossibility of local fiscal autonomy prompts a rethinking of the complex fiscal relations between the State and local authorities. The re-creation of a local fiscal power would go through consultation and co-decision between the State and the local authorities but also, in particular, with the crisis of representative democracy, through a better association of local elected representatives and citizens. However, veticality today characterizes the relationships between these actors.
