C’était une promesse de campagne du candidat Emmanuel Macron. La suppression de l’Impôt sur la Fortune a été actée au profit de l’Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière lors de la présentation de la Loi de finance 2018. Serpent de mer de la vie politique, l’ISF est une surtaxe sur le patrimoine qui se déclenchait à partir de 1,3 million d’euros sur le patrimoine net taxable. Cet ISF-PME (maintenu en IFI-PME uniquement en 2018) disparaît avec la réforme fiscale souhaitée par le Président de la République. Une fragilisation à l’heure où la France doit renforcer son tissu de PME et d’ETI pour faire naître un réel « Mittelstand ». Il faut donc trouver d’autres sources de financement sur lesquels travaillent les pouvoirs publics. Les propositions de Roland Berger prônent de réformer les différents outils existants sans créer aucune niche nouvelle. Les leviers existent mais doivent se transformer.
