Ce terme un peu cocasse serait né de l’expression «butterfly transaction», rendue fidèlement par «transaction papillon» et qui aurait donné par la suite d’autres expressions : single «transaction butterfly», complex «transaction butterfly» et one «wing butterfly» transaction. Ces termes seraient très utilisés par les fiscalistes. 2, record 2, French, - papillon%20sans%20ailes
