Everything about Maurice Laur totally explained
Maurice Lauré (
1917 -
20 April 2001) is primarily known for creating the
taxe sur la valeur ajoutée (TVA in
French, otherwise known as
value added tax (VAT) in
English).
Originally an
engineer with the French postal and telephone service (
PTT), he joined the French tax inspectorate after
World War II. In
1952, he became joint director of the new tax authority, the
Direction générale des impôts, which he'd helped to create.
In 1954, he invented an
indirect tax on consumption which became the TVA. His idea was quickly adopted because it forced taxpayers at all levels in the production process to administer and account for the tax themselves, rather than putting the burden only on retailers or requiring assessment by the tax authorities.
He later joined the board of several private sector companies, including
Société Générale (the
bank) and
Nouvelles Galeries (a retailer).
He was a member of the French
RPR political party.
