On 10 May 2012, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) handed down an expected decision concerning the issue of the compatibility of the French withholding tax on dividends paid to foreign Undertaking for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (UCITS) with the principle of freedom of movement of capital. It should be recalled that the French law provides a 25 percent withholding tax (30 percent since 1 January 2012), which can be reduced in application of tax treaty provisions, to the dividends paid by a French company to a non-resident UCITS whereas the dividends paid to French UCITS are exempted from any taxation.
