Not the richest grape. However 2023 release of financial law is subject to certain changes compared to last year. These were explained at the headquarters on January 19 last year Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Order of Accountants under the seal of interprofessionalism. Thus, in addition to chartered accountants, lawyers and notaries from the region were gathered with a common leitmotif: business services and advice.

Finance Act 2023: Towards the abolition of the CVAE
In terms of financial law, it continues its inflection curve business tax. “This is not very new. The rate has been steadily declining since 2019.” explainI am Bilel HakkarTax lawyer at Grenoble Arbor, Tournoud and Associates.
Indeed, in addition to reducing corporate tax (İŞ), companies will gradually be exempted from payment CVAE.
“The 2021 finance law has already halved this contribution, reducing it from 1.5% to 0.75%, creating savings of €7.2 billion for companies in France. In 2023, the CVAE will drop to 0.375% and will be zero from 2024. We remain. within the declared objective of restoring the competitiveness of companies, especially in the European landscape, the added value of French companies is the most taxed, creating distortions of competition.”
on his side, Jean-Baptiste ChelleA tax expert from Arthaud associés in Lyon insists on the practical application of the reduced corporate tax rate, referring to the company’s decision. Administrative Court of Appeal of Nantes In March 2022.
“The latter considers that when a company applying for a reduced corporate tax rate of 15% is at least 75% owned by the parent company of a tax-integrated group, the latter must meet the required turnover threshold, even if the company itself is not a member of this tax consolidation .
In other words, there is no reduced corporate tax rate for a non-consolidated company belonging to the parent company of a tax consolidation group that exceeds the turnover threshold of 10 million euros.

Finance Act 2023, positive impact for companies to adapt
However, this tax environment needs to be favorable enough for business Jerome LopezPresident of Isère CPME. “CVAE is an unfair contribution based on turnover, not results. We know that in 2023, companies will have to face new increases in raw materials, energy costs, inflation, which will start again in January. This forces us to keep workers with certain purchasing power… “Some companies will not make money, they will have to call their reserves, but they will pay CVAE.”
Jérôme López also reminds that of the one million companies created in 2022, 600,000 will be self-employed. “These companies do not participate in the general welfare, they are not taxed. They do not contribute to the financing of the state. CVAE is paid today by companies with a turnover of more than 500 thousand euros and a well-defined head office. Therefore, it is mainly paid by SMEs, our members “.
