Prélèvement forfaitaire libératoire. Les revenus de placements financiers sont, comme les autres, soumis à l'impôt sur les revenus. Seule différence : on peut choisir de ne pas les soumettre à l'impôt classique sur le revenu, mais au prélèvement libératoire, impôt à taux forfaitaire unique, pour un même type de placement. On peut ainsi libérer définitivement les revenus concernés de tout impôt sur le revenu. 2, record 12, French, - pr%C3%A9l%C3%A8vement%20forfaitaire%20lib%C3%A9ratoire%20de%20l%27imp%C3%B4t%20sur%20le%20revenu
