Bercy’s levers in the fight against fraud and tax evasion

This is a point common to all the candidates in the last presidential and legislative elections: strengthening the fight against tax evasion and fraud is seen as a painless way to bring money into the state coffers.

Each side has its own recipes. On the right, the new president of the Les Républicains group in the Assembly, Olivier Marleix (LR) said it was preparing measures “against transfer pricing abuses, which allow companies like McKinsey not to pay tax in France”. Transfer pricing refers to transactions made between subsidiaries of multinationals.
