AmCham helps with U.S.-French Income Tax Treaty

The US-French income tax treaty was signed at Bercy on 13 January 2009 by US Ambassador Craig Stapleton and Minister of Finance Christine Lagarde in the presence of AmCham's President Jean-Claude Gruffat, Taxation Task Force Chairman Eric Fourel, and key AmCham member tax directors, who have been supporting the realization of this protocol over the past two years.

The key element in the protocol is the elimination of the 5% US and French withholding tax on the payment of dividends between subsidiaries and their cross-border parent company the holds directly or indirectly at least 80% of the shares. Another key element is mandatory arbitration in certain circumstances. The protocol is subject to ratification by the Senates of both countries, and the Minister and the US Embassy will encourage quick approval. This and the other provisions of the protocol, including the practical consequences, will be discussed with the key negotiators from Bercy and the IRS and AmCham supporting members at the next Taxation Task Force meeting being organized by Chairman Eric Fourel. Watch for precise dates to follow.
