The abolition of the tax allowance of retirees is a track mentioned by the executive to achieve savings within the framework of the 2026 budget. A measure which does not seem relevant to Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of Justice. © Capture of screen Franceinfo – Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of Justice, pleads for a change in our retirement system. Safeguard safeguarded Receive retirement pension alerts while LR deputies have threatened not to vote on the 2026 budget in the event of the abolition of the tax reduction in retirees, Gérald Darmanin also issued reservations about this measure. Asked about the Plateau de Franceinfo this Thursday, April 24 on this track which could allow the State to save 5 billion euros, the Minister of Justice has been reluctant. He first recognized that “it is not completely wrong to say that it is in the social field that we must make savings”, Gérald Darmanin considered that “there is a subject of pensions but not necessarily a subject of retirees”. “I think it is not by making systematic planes, including on our retirees, that we necessarily get there,” he said. “The measures that consist in only doing budgetary planing, we sometimes do them because we are taken in the throat, but these are not sustainable measures,” he argued. For the Keeper of the Seals, “it’s time to change the model”.

In an interview with the newspaper Le Parisien, Saturday April 19, the Minister of Public Accounts Amélie de Montchalin did not rule out the possibility of removing the tax reduction of 10% from which retirees benefit. “I think, on a personal basis, that we cannot indefinitely use the assets to finance new social expenses related to aging,” she said. Before concluding: “It is not your age which must define your contribution, but also the means you have”. The abolition of this tax reduction would lead, for some pensioners, an increase in their tax on their income, and would make others taxable which are not today. >> Our service – Compare the performance of retirement savings plans (PER) thanks to our simulator Receive our latest news each week, items to read to better anticipate your retirement.
