Employment termination payments: single income tax exemption ceiling equal to 1 PASS

The income tax exemption for termination payments (dismissal, negotiated termination ('rupture conventionnelle'), compulsory retirement, etc.) would be capped at a single ceiling equal to the PASS (annual social security ceiling, €48,060 in 2026). The portion above this would become taxable. The Government states that 95% of recipients receive less than 1 PASS.
