21/01/2010 (Agence Europe) - In its finance amending Bill for 2010, France has brought in an exceptional system for taxing bonuses. The Bill targets the remuneration of those working in financial markets, putting a 50% tax on bonuses paid in 2009 above a €27,500 threshold. €270 million will be raised in this way and put into a national deposit guarantee fund for savers and depositors.
