Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / French tax system
French term or phrase: régime indiciaire
Actuellement, les entreprises non assujetties à la TVA sont assujetties à des régimes forfaitaires ou indiciaires. Dans le cas, d’une gestion limitée à deux régimes d’imposition, l’un réel impliquant l’assujettissement à la TVA, l’autre forfaitaire ou indiciaire, l’effet de seuil ainsi créé risque d’inciter un nombre croissant de contribuables par le biais de stratégies variées (division d’unités existantes, fraudes …) à se réfugier dans le régime forfaitaire ou indiciaire.

neutral  Fr-EnD: It could simply mean that it depends on where the taxpayer is on a a scale. Why not just say "indexé" if it's indexed?

indicator-based tax rules


Explanation:
IATE states that impôt indiciaire is indicator-based tax. If I hadn't seen that, I might have thought it was simply a difference between a percentage tax, and a lump-sum tax. Shows how little Canadians might know about these weird European terms. It's really like another world.

Very good point about the tiny number of hits. As you can see, the confidence level for my answer is 2. You will see that the term "indiciaire" is used for wages as well. The term already seems to be used in other fields where one would not suspect it, leading me to believe this could be some kind of meaning drift that Fr-speaking Europeans in this right circles would understand. I have never come across such a term in Canadian tax law, which is fully bilingual.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I get only eight google hits for "indicator-based tax", leading me to think that in spite of what IATE says, this isn't the correct term.

neutral  AllegroTrans: I cannot comprehend what "indicator based" means
7 hrs
  -> Nor can I. But it's in IATE, which is hardly sufficient. Read my "Note added at 50 mins."

(on a) presumptive basis; presumptive tax


Explanation:
The general term used these days in comparative tax studies.

Presumptive taxes, based on "indicia" for the particular taxpayer, are common in developing countries where the actual taxable basis is difficult or impossible to measure.

Or "indiciary". That word doesn't get so much use, but at least it's different from "indicial", as in the function of that name in fluid dynamics.
