French capital levy bill sparks debate in chamber
Paris April 7 The government's new financial bill introduces a capital levy forcing wealthier citizens to contribute to state finances if voluntary subscriptions fall short. Finance Minister De Monzie backs rapid reference to the finance committee and says the plan may be foreshadowing a plebiscite on forced loans, with income tax checks to verify declarations. The measure also seeks to raise Bank of France bill issuance from 41 to 45 billion francs and widen state credit, with possible separate action on circulation and the levy.
