For corporation tax purposes, companies may apply exceptional depreciation equal to 50% of the amount of the sums actually paid to subscribe to the capital of the companies mentioned in article 238 bis HO, up to a limit of 25% of the taxable profit for the financial year, from the year in which the investment is made.
In the event of the sale of all or part of the subscribed securities within five years of their acquisition, the amount of the exceptional amortisation is reintegrated into the taxable profit for the financial year during which the sale takes place and increased by a sum equal to the product of this amount by the rate of late payment interest provided for in article 1727.
A decree will set out the terms and conditions of application, in particular the reporting obligations.
