The holding company must make a commitment to reinvest at least 60% of the sale proceeds received, within two years.
The purpose is to reinvest, directly or indirectly, the sums for the benefit of the real economy.
There are 4 ways to reinvest which are not mutually exclusive:
In order to maintain the tax deferral, the following conditions must in particular be strictly observed:
The contribution-transfer operation is an operation that is generally set up some time before a business transfer. This operation can theoretically be broken down as follows:
Contribution: the contribution in kind of securities consists of the transfer of ownership of securities held by a natural person directly for the benefit of a company, known as a holding company. The contributor receives, in return for their contribution, the securities of the holding company.
Tax
deferral: all conditions being met, the contributor is subject to the
regime of Article 150-0 B ter of the French General Tax Code.
In
concrete terms, the contributor benefits from a payment period for the
tax on the capital gain realised during the contribution (the
contribution being in fact a taxable event). This payment period, known
as deferral, may be temporary or permanent.
The transfer: it is the holding company, beneficiary of the contribution, which is now the owner of the securities. In the event of a sale, the latter will receive the sale proceeds relating to the securities contributed.
Reinvestment: if the sale takes place within 3 years after the contribution, the holding company must reinvest at least 60% of the sale proceeds received so that the tax deferral continues.
Delubac Private Banking accompanies you, with accounting and legal professionals, at each stage of this operation.
