Question 21522 — taxes

Summary

Ms. Josiane Corneloup draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the consequences that the transformation of the sponsorship legislation would bring about, on donations in kind and in particular food donations. These, which constitute a majority of the supply of food aid structures in France, benefit nearly 5 million people in the country. Food banks have saved more waste 73,000 tonnes of food by collecting them from supermarkets, manufacturers and producers. These products represent 65% of food bank resources and have made it possible to redistribute more than 226 million meals to 2 million people in France, or nearly one in two food aid beneficiaries. When companies make a donation to an association recognized as being of public utility, they can benefit a tax exemption as provided for in article 238 bis of the general tax code currently set at 60%. Large distribution companies are encouraged by this advantage; a change in the law which aims to move the cursor below 60% or to cap the tax-exempt amount would undoubtedly contribute to drying up donations. Donations create social bonds in society and help the most vulnerable citizens. more in difficulty. It is necessary to protect this tax incentive framework when it concerns donations in kind (food, textiles, hygiene products, etc.), these donations are likely to help the French who need it most. Also, she would like to know her intentions regarding the evolution of corporate sponsorship, and particularly in relation to donations in kind.
