Removal of the 3% contribution on distributed profits
Article 37 of the 2018 Finance Act repeals article 235 ter ZCA of the General Tax Code, which imposed an additional 3% contribution on dividends paid by companies subject to corporate income tax. This contribution, created in 2012, had been ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Council on 6 October 2017 (decision no. 2017-660 QPC).
