Corporate tax exemption for the investment income of foundations recognised as being of public utility
Article 20 of the 2005 Finance Act rewrites Article 219 bis, III of the General Tax Code: foundations recognised as being of public utility are exempt from corporate tax on their investment income (property, agricultural and securities income listed in paragraph I), which was previously taxed at a reduced rate with an allowance. The article was added in the Senate on a proposal from the Finance Committee, after the abolition of the tax credit on dividends (avoir fiscal).
