DIVIDENDS MUST BE REPORTED
IN YOUR ANNUAL INCOME
TAX RETURN
DIVIDENDS ARE
SUBJECT TO SOCIAL
CONTRIBUTIONS
Your dividends are considered as income and must be reported in
your annual income tax return, whatever the taxation regime chosen
(PFU or progressive scale).
In practice, your annual income tax return will be pref illed with
the information provided by your bank and it will be up to you to check
the amounts.
• These social contributions are withheld at
source by the bank (even when the shareholder
is exempted from the 12.8% income tax levy
withheld at source). They are applied to the gross
dividend amount at the overall rate of 17.2%
(1)
.
• However, 6.8% of the CSG is deductible from the
taxable income in the year of the payment, but
only if you have chosen to have your dividends
subject to the ordinary income tax regime
(progressive scale).
N.B. Taxpayers registered
with a social security regime
in the European Economic
Area (excluding France) or in
Switzerland are exempt from
CSG and CRDS but remain
subject to the new social
security payment withheld
at the rate of 7.5%.
(1)
CSG: 9.2%; CRDS: 0.5%; New social security payment: 7.5%.
