The tax attack on credit cards of some parliamentarians

The Treasury, which decided to tackle the credit cards available to some parliamentarians, conducted sound adjustments, can climb up to 30,000 euros. Most group leaders of the Assemblies of countries are therefore in dispute with tax authorities, several newspapers reported on Saturday.
The tax question that all these expenses - meals, documentation, phone, etc.. - Are actually business expenses. Dozens of MPs are so concerned, according to the newspapers. For example, it claims nearly 20,000 euros to the former group leader at PS Walloon Parliament, Mauritius Bayenet, which has undergone several adjustments for using the credit card group. The Dinantais calls his good faith, as all elected officials involved: "When I had to meet the 34 deputies PS, I went to the restaurant and I paid with the card group." To avoid further trouble, Mr. Bayenet gave his card to the group in 2007. From the tax side, it is estimated that the group leaders are too greedy and that the lump-sum payments that they already receive to cover their costs should be sufficient. Elected officials have appealed to their lawyers to succeed, but the matter could be settled in parliament or by the Minister of Finance
