Fiscal vacuum cleaner

More and more rich french people left the country over the last years because of the high, very high taxes. Entrepreneurs started to organise their resistance and formed groups with the self-speaking names as citrons pressés or les plumés (the plucked). The weekend magazine of Le Figaro is regularly writing against the current government. This weekend with a cartography showing the 'real anti-Hollande' groups and then this one page infographic, explaining how up to 86 % of earnings land in the fiscal 'vacuum cleaner'.

Here the case and the figures:
A) A private person owns shares from an enterprise which made a profit of 100€ in this example. The company pays tax on the profit, then 60€ remaining.
B) On the 60€ the private person pays income tax, leaving 36€ in the wallet.

Here the story could end. But,
C) if the person just keeps the money for 30 years and then passes it to a heir, the wealth and heritage tax will have reduced it to a final sum of 14€ !
