Abstract

[fre] En France, 30 % des recettes budgétaires de l'État proviennent de la taxe à la valeur ajoutée (TVA) sur la consommation des ménages. L'enquête sur les budgets de famille permet de calculer la répartition de cette charge sur les différentes couches de la population. Il apparaît qu'elle est légèrement progressive par rapport aux niveaux de consommation mais dégressive par rapport aux revenus étant donné les différences du taux d'épargne entre les catégories sociales. Les modifications de taux par produit (tirant partie des différences de structure de consommation) qui seraient nécessaires pour changer cet état de fait sont manifestement insupportables étant donné leur ampleur. Consistant de plus à surtaxer certains produits « culturels » particulièrement consommés par les couches supérieures de la société elles s'opposeraient ainsi à la promotion souhaitée de ces consommations. [eng] VAT in Household Consumption - In France, 30 % of the government's budgetary income comes from value added tax (VAT) on household consumption. The survey on family budgets makes it possible to calculate the distribution of this tax burden on the different strata of the population. It emerges that this burden is slightly progressive regarding levels of consumption, but digressive as regards income given the differences in the rate of savings among different social categories. The modifications of the tax rates for individual products (based on the differences in the structure of consumption) which would be necessary to change this state of affairs would be so vast as to be clearly intolerable. Moreover, as this would mean surtaxing certain « cultural » products largely consumed by the upper strata of society, it would go against the policy of promoting such products. [spa] Los impuestos sobre el plusvalor en el consumo de los hogares - En Francia, un 30 % de los ingresos presupuestarios estatales provienen de los impuestos sobre el plusvalor en el consumo de los hogares. La encuesta relativa a presupestos familiares facilita el cálculo de la distribución de dichos impuestos en los diversos estratos de la población. Al parecer, es a!go progresiva con relación a nivelés de consumo mas es decreciente con relación a ingresos a causa de desemejanzas de la tasa de ahorro entre categorías sociales. Las modifîcaciones de tasa por producto (sacando partido de la estructura de consumo) que se verificarfan precisas para modificar esta posición son patentemente inaguantables dada su magnitud. Como consisten además en sobretasas para algunos productos determinados por considerarlos « culturales », consumidos especialmente por estratos superiores, se opondrían, por lo tanto, a la deseada promocién de dichos consumos.
