In the event of the sale or conversion of a security, the date of acquisition of the security is used to calculate its current value on the date of sale or conversion, based on the actuarial rate referred to in article A. 343-3.
For the bonds mentioned in the second paragraph of article R. 343-9, the current value thus calculated is multiplied by the ratio between the reference index on the date of sale or conversion and the same index on the date of acquisition.
Where the sale price is higher than the current value, less, where applicable, the depreciation mentioned in the first paragraph of article R. 343-9, the excess is paid into the capitalisation reserve; where it is lower than the current value, less, where applicable, the depreciation mentioned in the first paragraph of article R. 343-9, the difference is deducted from the capitalisation reserve, up to the amount of the latter.
The theoretical tax charge or income arising from the non-recognition in the company’s taxable income of the payments or deductions referred to in the previous paragraph gives rise to a non-technical release from the capitalisation reserve or a non-technical allocation to the capitalisation reserve, respectively, for an equivalent amount. This withdrawal or allocation contributes to the company’s non-technical result.
