On the 20th June, Minister for the Economy, Finance and Employment Christine Lagarde presented to 
the Cabinet a bill outlining the series of tax-cuts announced by the Government.
One of the aims of the bill is to restore purchasing power to the French by boosting employment.
These measures will affect the entire French population in the short term.

Employees will not be liable for tax or national insurance contributions on these earnings; businesses will benefit from reduced employer contributions.
