28882 He claims to have settled all of its taxes “with, like any taxpayer in this situation, all the late fees “. In a given Journal of Saone-et-Loire , Friday, Sept. 5 meeting, Mr. Thévenoud was more specific: “The amount was fully paid 1 st September 2014 for an amount of EUR 41 475 – 12 593 euros including penalties. “
He said, still in the JSL , that these are penalties for the year 2014:
“In 2012, the declaration of my income was filed late. The corresponding income tax has been paid in full for a long time, including penalties, in accordance with the law. In 2013, no statement has given rise to what is called an automatic taxation by the tax authorities. Again, I paid the tax and penalties due. In 2014, the return was filed late and now I’m waiting to send my tax notice. “
If you believe his statements, Mr. Thévenoud would have paid, excluding penalties, 28,882 euros in taxes for the single year 2014, under an” imposition of office. ” However, it should consider the tax household consists of Thévenoud Thomas and his wife Sandra, who was until very recently chief of staff to Senate President Jean-Pierre Bel.

Before 2012, M me Thévenoud was advisor to the Senate PS group and then chief of staff Jean-Pierre Bel to chair the PS group in the upper house. With the accession of Mr. Nice for the presidency, she became Advisor for the elect, then chief of staff.
“I’ve never been involved in politics to enrich myself at Instead, I ended my job and my local and auxiliary functions to devote myself entirely to the National Assembly “, explained Mr. Thévenoud August 6. However, he forgot to remember that remained councilor
It is therefore perceived.
7100 euros a month as MP
1990 euros a month as general counsel
A total of 9090 euros month. However, the law provides for capping pay, so Mr. Thévenoud can win over 8272 euros due to several mandates.
A local politician with many hats
Before being elected to the Assembly, however, he had accumulated Thévenoud mandates -. remuneration and
According to its statement of interest, Mr. Thévenoud perceived before 2012:
1990 euros as vice president of the General Council of Saône-et-Loire from 2008 to 2012 (a figure that seems minus: a Vice President of the General Council is normally paid 3193 euros gross per month for a department of over 500 000, as is the case in the Saone-et-Loire).
1139 euros as vice president of the agglomeration of Creusot-Montceau community from 2008 to 2012.
1950 euros as responsible for training Electricity distribution network France branch from an unspecified date.
A total of 5079 euros per month.
In addition to these three functions, he was also director of Thévenoud OPAC Creusot-Montceau (2008 to 2012) and Councillor Montceau-les-Mines (2001 to 2012), two terms for which it was, according to his statement of interest, unpaid.
Previously, from 2004 to 2008, Mr. Thévenoud was paid 3600 euros a month as chief of staff the urban community of Creusot-Montceau.
Finally, we note, as Rue89 had discovered that there is a company on behalf of Mr. Thévenoud domiciled at his parliamentary permanently and registered in 2012, and operates as a “business support” . Mr. Thévenoud does not mention in his statement of interest.
HAVP must investigate the income and assets of Mr. Thévenoud, and may be able to shed a little better the reasons that led this elected official’s long career, the husband of a member of the cabinet of the second character of the state, not to declare income for three years.
