Farm losses: ceiling for offsetting against total income raised from €53,360 to €60,000 and indexed

Article 7 of the 2005 Finance Act amends Article 156 I 1° of the General Tax Code. Farm losses remain deductible from total income when the household's other income does not exceed a ceiling, raised from €53,360 to €60,000. The ceiling is now updated every year in line with the upper limit of the first income tax bracket, from the tax on 2005 income.
