Tax return

If you are a French resident for tax purposes, your dividends are income to be declared in the year following its payment.

At the time of the dividend payment, the social security deductions of 17.2% have been retained as well as an advance tax payment on dividends of 12.8%, if you have not requested a tax exemption.

The following year, after completing your tax return, the tax due on your dividends is calculated and will take any amounts already withheld into account.

A "capital gain" is the profit made on the sale of a security and corresponds to the difference between the sale value and its unit priceThis capital gain must be declared on your income tax return.

If you are a direct registered Shareholder, the unit price of your shares and their capital gains are available in your Shareholder Portal, under the heading "My portfolio" > "Type of share display" > "View details"

A standard tax rate of at least 12.8% is retained when the dividend is paid by your account holder. If the conventional tax rate between France and your country of residence is lower than 12.8% and you had sent your account holder a certificate of tax residence, this reduced tax rate is applied.
