French finance minister suggests a one-year tax break
The French could be given a year off from paying income tax, according to its
finance minister
Thierry
Breton .
He said the waiver could be made while France switches to a PAYE tax system.
But the comments were dismissed by
Francois
Hollande , leader of the opposition, who said: ‘It’s pure electoral
extravagance to let French people think they won’t pay tax in 2008.’
