You are a French tax resident

YOUR CAPITAL GAINS ARE SUBJECT TO THE FLAT TAX (PFU)

Net capital gains on sale of shares (i.e. capital gains minus capital losses on share transfers incurred in the same tax year or in previous years, up to the tenth year included) realized by individuals residing in and subject to taxation in France, are subject to an income flat tax rate of 12.8%. This rate applies without any allowance for holding period. Taxed capital gains are also subject to social contributions (see point 1.4 below).

Example

A shareholder sells TotalEnergies shares for a price of 3,000 in 2021 while he acquired them in 2011 for a price of 2,500. He therefore realizes a capital gain of 500 that he must report in his 2022 tax return relating to 2021 income. He must pay the PFU on capital gains for an amount of 150 (i.e. 500 x 30%).

Taxation

CAPITAL GAINS ON THE SALE OF TOTALENERGIES SHARES IN YEAR N

Must be reported in year n+1 in your tax return relating to year n income

However, you can choose to be taxed under the progressive scale income tax regime. In some

cases, your net capital gains on shares held for more than two years can benefit from a tax allowance

based on their holding period.

Whatever the option chosen, capital gains on the sale of shares must be reported in your annual income tax

return and are subject to social contributions at an overall rate of 17 2%.

Your capital losses on sale of shares can be offset against capital gains of the same nature realized during the relevant year and the 10 subsequent years.

Based on this tax return and on the income of year n, in year n+1 you will be paying a flat income tax ( PFU )

at a global rate of 30% of the capital gains realized in year n.
