Depardieu to hand back passport
He is prone to more than just theoccasionaloutburst but this time Gerard Depardieu isat the centre of an almighty political storm. Lastweek, the actor announced he had quit Paris for a small town 800 yards from the Frenchborder; seemingly to dodge a 75% top rate of tax expected to come into forcenext year.
The Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said it was "shabby", and suggested he was shirkinghis patriotic responsibilities. "How pathetic is that?" writes the actor in today's Journal duDimanche. "I am leaving because you believe success, creation, talent, anything different mustbesanctioned."
The actor claims he has paid ￡120m ($194m) in taxes since beginning work as a printer atthe age of 14. "And people more illustrious than me," he railed, "have gone into tax exile."Belgium is an attractive option for French people since it doesn't impose any additional taxeson wealth. And three months ago France's richest man Bernard Arnault applied for Belgiancitizenship. The government might question their loyalties; but what sort of message is beingsent to the outside investors France is hoping to attract, when some of the country's biggestnames are heading for self-imposed exile?
