Decathlon has raised serious concerns regarding the potential cuts to the research tax credit (CIR) in France. As the French government prepares the budget for 2026, discussions about reducing the CIR have reemerged. This tax credit plays a crucial role in supporting innovation and research across various sectors, including retail.
Decathlon emphasizes that these cuts could hinder the progress of research and development in France. The company argues that a robust CIR encourages businesses to invest in innovative projects. If these cuts go through, it could jeopardize France’s position as a leader in innovation and technology.
