Taxation of dividends received by shareholders

Verified 01 January 2026 - Entreprendre Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Dividends received by members are taxable to income tax (IR) or business tax (IS) depending on the member's tax regime. The rules are different depending on whether the partner is a natural person or a legal person (business). The tax system of the business that distributes dividends also has an impact. Dividends may be taxed either only at the level of the shareholders or at the level of both the distributing business and the shareholders.

Associate natural person

When a business subject to business tax (IS) makes profits, the partners can decide in general assembly from distribute a portion of these profits to partners. Distributed profits are called dividends.

In a business subject to income tax (IR)However, there are no dividends per se. Indeed, the profit from the business is not taxed at the level of the business but at the level of the members for the share which corresponds to the number of shares held. Dividends are included in the benefit imposed at the level of the partner. Thus, there is no distribution of profit in the form of dividends.

The taxation of dividends depends on the tax regime of the business that distributes them:

  • Business subject to income tax (IR) : the benefit of the business is subject to the IR at the level of the partners. Each partner is taxed on the share of profits that corresponds to the percentage of shares he holds in the business. Dividends are included in the profit.
  • Business subject to business tax (IS) : dividends are first taxed at the business level at the IS as profits. Then they are taxed at the income tax level of the partners for the share that corresponds to the percentage of shares held.

Business subject to IR

When the business is subject to the RI, the profit is taxed at the income tax level of the partners. Dividends are included in the share of profit that corresponds to the number of shares that the partner holds in the business.

The taxation of profits depends on the type of activity business:

Business subject to SI

1. At business level

The profits (including dividends) of the business are subject to the IS. Whether distributed or not, they are not deductible from the outcome of the business.

They shall be subject to one of the following schemes:

  • Business with a duty-free turnover of less than €10 million and of which the capital held in 75% by natural persons shall be paid in full: application of the 15% until €42,500 of profits. Beyond that, the rate goes to 25%.
  • Other companies: application of the 25%.

To learn more about business tax, you can visit our dossier on the subject.

2. At the level of members

Dividends are subject to income tax (IR) at the partner level.

Initially, a non-withholding flat-rate levy (NTFP) from 12.8% is applied to the gross amount of dividends. The amount is deducted by the institution responsible for paying the dividends to the member at the time of the payment of the dividends.

This levy constitutes a tax deposit on income. It is only at the time of the return of income for the year corresponding to the payment of the dividends that they will be taxed.

The partner can request to be exempt from the flat-rate non-discharge levy if it meets any of the following conditions:

  • If he is alone: the reference tax income of the partner of the penultimate year compared to the payment of the deposit was less than €50,000
  • If married or past: the reference tax income of the partner of the penultimate year compared to the payment of the deposit was less than €75,000.

They must apply to their financial institution for an exemption no later than 30 November of the preceding year the payment of income. He must attach to his application for exemption a sworn statement in which he indicates that he meets the income conditions.

It has the choice between 2 methods of taxation: Single flat-rate levy (PFU) or the progressive scale of income tax :

Single flat-rate levy (PFU)

The single flat-rate levy (SSF) is equal to 30% : it is composed of a rate at 12.8% corresponding to income tax and a rate of 17.2% corresponding to social security contributions.

Since the NTFP is equal to the UTP, the deposit paid by the payment institution at the time of the payment of the dividends to the member covers the amount of taxation of the amounts received by the member in the category of income from movable capital.

RI progressive scale

The partner must opt for his dividends to be subject to the progressive income tax scale.

To opt, it must tick the box 2OP of cerfa form 2042 at the time of his tax return.

Where dividends are taxed according to the progressive scale, a abatement of 40% is applied upstream. In other words 40% dividends are not subject to the progressive scale of income tax. This allowance does not apply to all income in the category of income from movable capital.

Please note

If it decides to opt for its dividends to be taxed at the progressive scale, the option applies to all amounts received in the category of income from movable capital and capital gains on the sale of transferable securities (interest on shareholders' current accounts, etc.).

Once the option is taken, the dividends are included in the income taxed in the progressive scaleof the associate. If he has other taxable income on the progressive income tax scale, all his income is added up to be taxed together on the progressive scale.

A reduction of 10% is applied to that pre-tax income to take account of business expenses associated currents. These include, for example, travel expenses between home and work, catering expenses at the workplace.

Please note

The partner may opt for the abatement of 10%, his professional expenses are deducted for their actual amount. However, he must keep all the proof of his professional expenses.

Depending on the amount of income, the tax administration applies the following progressive scale:

Warning  

Pending the adoption of a budget for 2026, a special law no. 2025-1316 of 26 december 2025 ensures the operation of public services. It extends the 2025 budget provisions until the adoption of a 2026 budget law.

In the context of the parliamentary debates on the 2026 budget, the freezing of income is envisaged, with the exception of the first tranche (rate of 11% ), the upper limit of which would be increased by €11,497 à €11,612  in order to index it to inflation. At this stage, therefore, this development does not constitute a legislative provision in force.

In the meantime, the information presented in this sheet remains valid.

Once each of the rates is applied to the different tranches covered by the income of the partner, a single rate is determined and applied each month. Taxes are then levied at source by the tax authorities.

FYI  

The flat-rate non-withholding tax (NTFP) is not necessarily equal to the amount of the tax on the progressive scale of the income from movable capital of the partner. If the deposit paid is greater than the amount of tax, the excess is refunded to the partner.

A partner who receives dividends must declare the amounts received at the time of his income tax return for the year in which he received the dividends. Under the business tax regime, dividends are not reported in the same way.
