II – DETERMINING TAXABLE INCOME
A. GENERAL RULES FOR DETERMINING PROFITS In the same way as enterprises liable to income tax in the category of business profits (bénéfices industriels et commerciaux, BIC), and in principle unlike non-commercial enterprises liable to income tax in the category of non-commercial profits (bénéfices non commerciaux, BNC), companies liable to corporation tax must include all existing receivables and liabilities at the end of a period in the calculation of their taxable profit. Profit liable to corporation tax is determined according to the same general rules as for the taxation of enterprises liable to income tax in the category of business profits, except for the territorial profit taxation rule, which applies only to enterprises liable to corporation tax. Profit liable to corporation tax is determined according to the results of operations of all types carried out by the enterprise, including disposals of assets. The tax base therefore broadly corresponds to the difference between net balance sheet assets at the start and end of the period, minus contributions, plus withdrawals made by members or shareholders during the period. In principle the taxable profit corresponds to the book profit, but the latter is adjusted to take account of tax rules that depart from accounting rules. 3 – TAX CONSOLIDATION (Articles 223 A to 223 U CGI) In order to neutralise the impact of taxation on economic entities and to bolster firms' competitiveness, the General Tax Code establishes a tax consolidation regime for corporate groups. Corporations liable to corporation tax may opt for this tax consolidation regime. Under this regime, a French parent company can: • either pay corporation tax for all the group companies in which it owns at least 95% of the capital during the full tax year, directly or indirectly through companies of the group (known as a “vertical group”). The parent company cannot be 95%-held or more by another corporation liable to corporation tax. The parent company can include all the companies eligible to be members of the corporate group, or only a portion of them. • or pay corporation tax due on all profits of the group that it comprises along with its associated firms whose share capital is 95%-held or more, directly or indirectly, by a parent company referred to as a “non-resident parent company” established in a European Union Member State or another state that is a party to the European Economic Area Agreement and has signed an assistance treaty with France to combat tax evasion and avoidance agreement with France (known as a “horizontal group”). 10 Finally, this tax consolidation regime is also available, under certain conditions, to some mutual insurance companies, mutual banking groups and government-funded industrial and commercial institutions (établissements publics industriels et commerciaux, EPIC).
