In a long awaited decision, the French Cour de cassation rules that the Dutreil transmission favourable regime applies to the shares of a mixed holding company if the animation activity (managing another company) is preponderant. The main character of the animation activity is based on the market value of the shares, and not on their accounting value, representing more than a half of the total assets of the holding company. Pascal JULIEN SAINT-AMAND provides his analysis of this ruling in the Feuillet Rapide of Editions Francis Lefebvre.
