Unitholders in a mutual fund may set off all or part of the tax credits attached to the income and capital gains from the sale of assets included in that fund.
For each year, the fund manager calculates the total sum to which the income received and the capital gains realised by the fund give entitlement.
The right of each unitholder to deduct tax is determined in proportion to their share of the distribution made in respect of the year in question, taking into account the nature and French or foreign origin of the sums or securities distributed. This right to deduction may not exceed that to which the person concerned would have been entitled if he had directly received his share of the same proceeds or directly realised this same capital gain.
The amount to be imputed is added for the income tax or corporation tax base to the net income received by the unitholders.
A decree adapts the provisions of this code relating to the restitution of sums corresponding to tax credits that could not be imputed.
