Capital losses on securities can be offset over ten years instead of five
Article 4 of the 2003 Finance Act amends paragraph 11 of Article 150-0 D of the General Tax Code: losses on disposals of securities and company shares may be offset against gains of the same type over the following ten years, instead of five. The measure applies to losses incurred from 1 January 2002. It stems from an amendment of the Senate finance committee tabled by its general rapporteur, Philippe Marini, adopted by public ballot on 22 November 2002 with the government's support.
