Emmanuel Macron presidency prompts French startup boom

[AtW]

The new President plans a raft of startup boosting measures, such as cuts in corporate tax and wealth tax exemptions

Mr Macron’s manifesto included pro-business measures, such as cutting corporate tax to 25 per cent from 33.3 per cent, shifting the wealth tax to property only, which would exempt the ownership of company stakes, and introducing a flat 30 per cent tax on capital gains, from up to 50 per cent currently.

“People need to know that if they come to France, they can make a fortune and won’t get fleeced,” Mr Dufourcq said.

Only if they hire French people who have worked abroad.

Is the French workplace - working hours etc. conducive to start-ups?

Yes, as long as no one works more than 30 hours a week, or takes less than 7 weeks off per year as annual leave, or the lunch breaks are less than 2 hours per day.

Otherwise, Non!

Macron is certain to spare us bland platitudes. Comes across energetic & enthusiastic rather than the wistful & vacuous members that make up the Tories.
