Members of parliament back employee share ownership reform

Article 34 of the bill on growth, attractiveness and equal economic opportunity provides for a reform of the taxation of employee shareholding mechanisms, enabling growing companies to redistribute profits to their employees.

The planned reform will bring France’s tax system into line with that of Germany and the UK. These mechanisms are particularly important for digital companies, which have difficulty attracting and retaining talent. It is also a strong incentive to do business in France rather than elsewhere.
This reform is now endangered by an amendment tabled by Karine Berger, Valérie Rabault and Pierre-Alain Muet, which aims to delete article 34 altogether.

Syntec Numérique calls on members of parliament to help create a competitive and attractive France and not to vote for this amendment.
