The contribution on high incomes could bring in only 1.2 billion euros, compared to the expected 2 billion.

Another budgetary setback for the government. The differential contribution on high incomes (CDHR), a new tax created by the latest finance law to ensure that the wealthiest pay a minimum tax rate of 20% of their income, risks bringing in far less than the expected €2 billion. It would only generate €1.2 billion in revenue, according to estimates by researchers at the Institute of Public Policy (IPP), created by the Paris School of Economics (PSE), and would only affect 16,300 households (while the budget documents projected 24,300 tax households ).
