                    Monsieur le président, très rapidement, je tenais à noter que mes collègues Gilkinet, Calvo et moi-même avions déposé en commission des Finances et du Budget un amendement relatif aux modalités du tax shelter pour les PME et le crowdfunding. De la sorte, nous demandions que cette mesure puisse être étendue au reward-based crowdfunding, autrement dit la récompense apportée à un investissement - à distinguer d'actions ou de micro-actions.

Pour le moment, le tax shelter permet à des citoyens de bénéficier d'avantages fiscaux uniquement s'ils soutiennent des projets de crowdfunding dont ils deviennent actionnaires ou micro-actionnaires. C'est ce qu'on appelle le crowdfunding equity.

Quelle était la raison de cet amendement? La plupart des projets de reward-based crowdfunding veulent avoir un impact social ou environnemental positif. De plus, ils sont souvent ancrés localement. Grâce à cette mesure, nous souhaitons soutenir tout un pan de l'économie qui, pour l'instant, n'est pas aidé par le tax shelter. Dès lors, nous désirons étendre cette disposition.

Au cours des débats en commission, plusieurs interventions se sont révélées très positives. Par la suite, nous avons retiré notre amendement, dans la mesure où le cabinet du ministre des Finances avait exprimé sa volonté d'avancer dans ce dossier.

Je tenais donc seulement à prendre acte de la poursuite de la discussion. Nous espérons sincèrement aboutir. En tout cas, le texte est dans les mains du ministre Van Overtveldt. Le retrait de notre amendement avait évidemment pour but de laisser le temps à la poursuite des débats. Cette mesure nous semble essentielle pour soutenir l'économie à impact social et environnemental positif.

Translated text

Mr. Speaker, very quickly, I wanted to note that my colleagues Gilkinet, Calvo and myself had filed in the Committee on Finance and Budget an amendment concerning the modalities of the tax shelter for SMEs and the crowdfunding. Thus, we demanded that this measure could be extended to reward-based crowdfunding, i.e. the reward paid for an investment – to distinguish from shares or micro-actions.

For now, the tax shelter allows citizens to benefit from tax benefits only if they support crowdfunding projects of which they become shareholders or micro- shareholders. This is called crowdfunding equity.

What was the reason for this amendment? Most reward-based crowdfunding projects want to have a positive social or environmental impact. In addition, they are often anchored locally. Through this measure, we want to support a whole pan of the economy that, at the moment, is not supported by the tax shelter. We therefore wish to extend this provision.

During the discussions in the committee, several interventions proved very positive. Subsequently, we withdrew our amendment, in so far as the Cabinet of the Minister of Finance had expressed its willingness to move forward in this matter.

So I just wanted to take note of the continuation of the discussion. We sincerely hope to succeed. The text is in the hands of Minister Van Overtveldt. The withdrawal of our amendment was obviously intended to give time for further discussions. This measure seems to us essential to support the economy with a positive social and environmental impact.
