Tax rate and tax systems
French tax system
Danone forms a tax group with most of its French subsidiaries in which it owns, directly or indirectly, more than 95% of the share capital,
enabling taxable profits and losses to be offset subject to certain limits and conditions.
Other tax systems
Similar tax grouping arrangements
exist in other countries, in particular
in the United States,
the Netherlands,
the United Kingdom,
Germany and Spain.
Effective tax rate
In 2019, the Group effective tax rate was 27.7%, lower than the 2018 rate, which included non-recurring items (impairment of Centrale
Danone assets (EDP, Morocco)).
As is the case with Danone’s business activity (see breakdown of sales by country in Note 6.2 of the Notes to the consolidated financial
statements), Danone’s current and deferred tax expense is also relatively well distributed
across several countries,
with no single
dominant country.
