Employers of the restoration says contract commitment becomes obsolete
After the government’s announcement to raise from 5.5% to 7% VAT for food services at the table, syndicates sector “reserve the right not to implement” all commitments on the employment rates and the attractiveness of the area.
The restaurant industry will bear the brunt of the new government austerity plan. The news was expected since last week. Ella was confirmed on Monday. The Prime Minister, François Fillon, provides an increase in the VAT rate from 5.5% to 7% for food services at the table. The announcement comes two years and four months to the day after the entry into force on 1 juiilet 2009, reduced VAT rate of 19.6% to 5.5% for the sector. Decried a measure (it is very costly to the state: 2.4 billion euros per year), but strongly supported by Nicolas Sarkozy and “torn by the president to Europe”, in the words of the Secretary of State for Trade and Crafts Frédéric Lefebvre.
But now, since the economic context has changed and the government must urgently find new recipes to deal with the downward revision of growth prospects for French. If it is not subject to return for hours at a rate of 19.6%, the choice of a limited increase and an intermediate rate appeared to be “acceptable.” This is also the finding of the morning the president of MEDEF, Laurence Parisot.
The premium of the employees in question
The problem is that the lower rate of VAT in catering was negotiated in exchange for firm commitments Restaurant on prices, employment, the attractiveness of the sector and its modernization. The employers of the restoration had even signed to this effect, 28 April 2009, a “future contract” with the government before making new commitments in 2014 in an amendment to the agreement signed April 28, 2011 .
Now, these commitments become “obsolete”, say syndicates. In a statement released Monday, said they reserve “the right not to implement all the commitments in”, including the premium tax, an annual bonus of up to 500 euros per employee.
