Non-repayable subsidies paid by employers to companies or organisations duly authorised to receive them as part of their contribution to the construction effort are not included in the taxable profits of the financial year in which they were paid, for the purposes of the corporation tax due by these companies or organisations.
The amount of the grant is deducted from the cost price of the items built or acquired with the aid of the said grant for the calculation of depreciation and capital gains subsequently realised.
However, where the subsidy is paid annually in order to reduce the charges relating to the servicing of the loan taken out for the construction of a building, it is deducted from the taxable profit up to the amount of the depreciation applied at the end of each financial year to the cost price of this building.
