Les midi de l’IRIB
Le 4 avril de 12h00 à 14h00
« Réformer la politique des voitures de société : CoCaTax »
Intervenant : Tom Truyts (Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles)
La congestion automobile et une meilleure connaissance des conséquences de la pollution de l’air font que le traitement fiscal avantageux des voitures de société devient de plus en plus controversé. Récemment, deux réformes fiscales ont été proposées pour remédier à ce problème : l’allocation de mobilité (Cash for car) et le budget de mobilité. Dans le cadre de la chaire du Brussels Studies Institute « Companies and Sustainable Mobility. The Company Car Debate and Beyond », une équipe de recherche du CEREC a développé CoCaTax, un modèle de microsimulation en ligne et accessible à tous. CoCaTax permet de calculer l’impact d’une réforme fiscale concernant les voitures de société pour chaque individu dans un échantillon représentatif de la société, et présente une analyse et une visualisation de cet impact dans son interface. A l’occasion de ce Midi de l’IRIB, Tom Truyts esquissera le défi sociétal que posent les voitures de société, leur traitement fiscal actuel et le contexte dans lequel des réformes peuvent se penser. Il présentera également le fonctionnement de CoCaTax, ainsi qu’une analyse des deux réformes fiscales proposées et introduira brièvement le projet plus large de construction de modèles de microsimulation fiscale au sein du CEREC.
