Extension to 2022 of the tax exemptions for young innovative companies
Article 46 of the 2020 Finance Act extends by three years the tax component of the young innovative company (JEI) status: the deadline for the creation of eligible companies, set by Article 13 of the 2004 Finance Act, moves from 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2022, as do the optional exemptions from property tax (Art. 1383 D CGI) and business property contribution (Art. 1466 D). The 15% research-expenditure criterion is also calculated excluding foreign-exchange losses and net charges on disposals of short-term securities. The Government must submit a report on the scheme by 30 June 2022.
