The tax credit provided for in article 220 sexies A is deducted from the corporation tax payable by the company in respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2020 or the first financial year ending after that date.
If the amount of the tax credit exceeds the tax due in respect of that financial year, the excess is refunded.
The excess tax credit constitutes a claim on the State in favour of the company for an equal amount. This claim is inalienable and non-transferable, except under the conditions set out in articles L. 313-23 à L. 313-35 of the Monetary and Financial Code.
