Rich Frenchmen escape to Belgium

14.12.2012

The application of the Government of France luxury tax, whose rate in 2013 increased to 75%, prompting many rich people in the country to think about moving to more favorable to the rich people Belgium.

Moving to Belgium one of France's most famous actors - Gerard Depardieu - has become the most discussed event of the month. It is learned that the actor has put his house in France for sale, and he bought property in the village Neshen in Belgium, just a kilometer from the border with France, and also applied for a Belgian citizenship.

In Belgium, a luxury tax is not charged, while in France all people whose annual income exceeds EUR 1,3 millions must pay luxury tax. Payment for an only one shooting can be around EUR 2 millions.

It should be noted that the richest businessman, head of group Moet Hennesy Lois Vuitton, Bernard Arnault has already left France. He also went to Belgium, and also because of the increased tax burden on the rich.

Expert’s opinion

"France is a haven for bums, the homeless, the poor and uneducated refugees from North Africa. De Gaulle, who decided that the involvement of young 150,00 Algerians to low-paid jobs in France is a good idea, did not think that each of the guests has families which, of course, moved to a working family member.

France is a civilized but poisoned by socialism country. Now, there is no money in the budget in order to keep the social benefits to the unemployed. They decided that they can take away this money from a rich Depardieu, Arnaud and other oligarchs. Well, the signal is received.

If even Frenchmen are leaving the France and the export their capital, there is no sense to go to France and to import capital from Russia and Ukraine. Austria is the choice of the rich thinking people of the post-Soviet space. Well, the French are going to Belgium, because the official language is French there, and there is no necessity to learn German."
