The taxable profits of small-scale fishermen, subject to a real tax regime, who set up for the first time between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 2010, are determined, for the first sixty months of activity, after deduction of a 50% allowance. To qualify, artisans must be under the age of forty at the time of setting up, have met training conditions and have submitted a business start-up plan.
The allowance provided for in the first paragraph also applies, under the same conditions, to the share of profit accruing to the fisherman who is a member of a small-scale fishing company referred to in the third paragraph of Article 34. It does not apply to profits subject to a reduced rate of taxation or to the income referred to in the third paragraph of Article 34 and cannot be combined with other allowances applied to the profits made by the artisanal fisherman or the aforementioned company.
A decree in the Conseil d’Etat sets out the terms and conditions for the application of this article, in particular with regard to reporting obligations, the installation plan and the training conditions for the beneficiaries of the allowance.
