From my understanding they paid CapGemini €24M for this project in order to net €10M in taxes.
- TMWNN 3y agoMost of that will be fixed costs. It won't cost nearly so much the next time.
- Traubenfuchs 3y ago...when will the next 20.000 swimming pools be done?
- _Microft 3y agoAnother commenter pointed out that having a pool influences the property value and thereby tax, so they should be able to collect the tax yearly, not just once.
- cinntaile 3y agoThat's 10M extra per year. You pay property taxes each year.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoIf it's anything like the big consulting firms' rip-offs in the USA, it might well be every year. Look at the disgraceful fleecing of our national parks by Booz Allen: https://www.wsj.com/articles/national-park-fees-booz-allen-68d4d6d8 https://www.wsj.com/articles/national-park-fees-booz-allen-6...
- pyrale 3y agoThe $10m comes from about 10% of France's territory that was used as an experiment.
- prepend 3y agoSo it will likely need $300M in fees to CapGemini to expand to the other 90%. And the model will need to be rebuilt in 2 years.
- arp242 3y agoThe article says "The public finance authority DGFiP said the AI programme would now be rolled out nationwide, potentially leading to €40m in new taxes on private pools in 2023". So total revenue is not that significantly higher than €10m.
