Higher cap on the transport levy in Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne
The 2018 Finance Act raises the maximum rate of the transport levy paid by employers in Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne to Île-de-France Mobilités: 2.12% in 2017, 2.33% in 2018, 2.54% in 2019, 2.74% in 2020 and 2.95% from 1 January 2021 (article L. 2531-4 of the General Local Authorities Code). The article stems from two identical amendments adopted in the chamber: one by Joël Giraud, general rapporteur, on behalf of the finance committee, and Amélie de Montchalin (No. II-1506), and one by Amélie de Montchalin and La République en marche MPs (No. II-1621). Île-de-France Mobilités applied the 2.33% rate from 1 July 2018 (decision No. 2018/014 of 14 February 2018).
Measure originators
A positive amount is revenue or savings for public finances; a negative amount is a cost or lost revenue.
Measure impact
Employers with at least eleven staff in these two departments pay a higher payroll-based transport levy, to fund new transport infrastructure (Grand Paris Express, metro extensions) and the single-price Navigo pass. Each 0.21-point increase brings about €60m a year to Île-de-France Mobilités, i.e. €240m a year more in 2021 than in 2017.
