Carrez is the author of the 1996 Carrez law which obliges the vendor of a propertylot (or fraction of a lot) in a condominium to specifically mention the surface area in all documents relating to the property sold.[3]
In response to a 2019 law authorizing the sale of the government's controlling stake in Groupe ADP, Carrez supported a cross-party initiative which called for a referendum to overturn the legislation, citing concerns over the loss of government revenue and influence.[4][5]
Controversy
In October 2014, Carrez was found to have avoided paying the French solidarity tax on wealth (ISF) for three years by applying a 30 percent tax allowance on one of his homes. However, he had previously converted the home into an SCI, a private, limited company to be used for rental purposes. The 30 percent allowance does not apply to SCI holdings. Once this was revealed, Carrez declared, "if the tax authorities think that I should pay the wealth tax, I won't argue." At the time, Carrez was one of more than 60 French parliamentarians battling with the tax offices over 'dodgy' asset declarations.[6]
