GAEC farming partnerships: partners of retirement age count again in per-partner thresholds

For GAEC farming partnerships, Article 71 of the CGI (General Tax Code) multiplies some limits and thresholds of the farm profits tax regime by the number of partners. The 2026 budget act removes the exclusion of partners who, on the first day of the financial year, are older than the age at which they can draw a pension: they are now counted.
