When companies that are receiving dividends from profits on which tax has already been paid by the distributing company receive a tax credit attempting to avoid double taxation on that income, it is called an Avoir Fiscal. The Avoir Fiscal is reserved for dividends paid out by French companies that are subject to corporate tax, and it is equal to 15% of the amounts distributed (when the shareholder is a legal person).

For Avoir Fiscal processing, you must set the rate's Tax Withholding Rate and Tax Reclaim Rate field values to 0, and must enter values in the Avoir Withholding Rate and/or Avoir Reclaim Rate fields. These fields, combined with the other entity and security master fields described, trigger Avoir Fiscal processing. The Avoir Fiscal fields are available in the Create Global Tax Rates panel and the Create Specific Global Tax Rates panel.
