Instead of implementing deep and permanent cuts in payroll taxes on businesses, the government will give companies a €20 billion ($26 billion) income-tax credit over the next two years.

奥朗德政府对加洛瓦报告的反应远非向支持商界转变的信号，而是反映了法国精英顽固的干预主义思维。法国政府并没有持久地大幅度削减企业工资税，而是将在未来两年中授予公司200亿欧元的所得税减免。公司被要求将减少的现金用于投资和就业创造，政府因此将该措施描述为对劳动力减税并将提振就业。但临时性税收减免不会改变激励。
