précompte : En France, le terme «précompte» désigne aussi un impôt égal au tiers des dividendes prélevés sur des bénéfices n'ayant pas supporté l'impôt sur les bénéfices au taux plein ou sur des bénéfices réalisés au cours d'exercices clos depuis plus de cinq ans. En Belgique, on distingue le «précompte mobilier», qui correspond à une retenue à la source sur les intérêts et dividendes, et le «précompte professionnel», qui est une retenue d'impôt sur les revenus professionnels des personnes sous contrat d'emploi. Cet impôt peut faire l'objet d'un remboursement si les calculs définitifs font apparaître des retenues excessives. 9, record 2, French, - retenue%20%C3%A0%20la%20source
