Question 21526 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Jean-François Portarrieu draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the modification of the taxation of patronage and in particular that of donations in kind. Indeed, many organizations including food banks are concerned about a possible modification of the taxation of sponsorship through the revision of article 238 bis of the general tax code for donations in kind. According to them, it would be considered a reduction in the rate of 60% tax reduction or the establishment of a cap on the tax-exempt amount. They consider that, in the first case, this would lead to a significant drop in donations, and in the second, would make them marginal. Food banks fight daily against insecurity and food waste. In 2018, they redistributed more than 226 million meals to 2 million people in France. They also saved more than 73,000 tonnes of food from waste. Food donations benefit nearly 5 million people in the country. A change in this tax system would, according to these associations, lead to a questioning of the food donation policy by donors and could jeopardize food aid. Thus, in order to reassure the players in this field, he would like to know his position on this subject and know what the Government plans to do in this matter.
