Threshold of securities disposals triggering capital gains tax raised from €7,650 to €15,000
Article 5 of the 2003 Finance Act amends Article 150-0 A of the General Tax Code: gains on disposals of securities and company shares are taxable only if the household's annual disposals exceed €15,000, instead of €7,650. The measure applies to the taxation of 2003 income and subsequent years. It stems from an amendment of the Senate finance committee tabled by Philippe Marini; at the government's request, its entry into force was postponed from 2002 to 2003 income.
