Tax Exemptions for Non-Profit Organizations: General Principles and Specific Cases in France

  • Associations sportives, culturelles, ou socio-éducatives primarily serve their members and are funded by member fees and service-related income.
  • These associations may also receive funding from occasional events or private and public contributions.
  • Certain nonprofit organizations are exempt from taxes for social, educational, cultural, or sports services provided to members, with some limits on incidental sales.
  • Bars, refreshment stands, and hospitality services provided by these organizations remain taxable.
  • Tax exemptions also apply to federations and confederations meeting specific conditions with their member associations.
  • Some social or philanthropic nonprofits provide services without requiring user membership and are tax-exempt for non-profit activities if managed disinterestedly.
  • Six annual fundraising events organized exclusively for the benefit of these organizations are also tax-exempt.
