An incentive legislative framework

The law of August 1, 2003 relating to patronage, known as the "Aillagon law", created a very attractive tax system. It gives a reduction in corporate tax of 60% of the amount of the donation made in cash, 40% of donations in skill or in kind, within the limit of 0.5% of your annual turnover excluding tax.
It should be noted that patrons are subject to reporting obligations (article 238 bis-1 of the CGI, BOI 4 C-5-04, No. 112 of July 13, 2004, Decree 2004-185 of February 24, 2004).

Counterparties

This law authorizes counterparts in communication, public relations, or ticketing for your company. The value of these counterparts must remain in "marked disproportion" to the amount of the donation, capped at 25% of the amount of the donation. (Official Tax Bulletin (BOI) 4 C-2-00, No. 86 of May 5, 2000, and 4 C-5-04, No. 112 of July 13, 2004).

It can be tickets for shows, private visits to an exhibition, the provision of reception areas, the insertion of your logo on our communication documents, training courses for your employees or many other things to build together.

60% tax reduction + 25% in return = 85% overall advantage
