How to calculate French tax due on sale of shares?

Hello

I'm looking to start a business and will need to raise capital from some elderly UK Peps.   I understand that although free from UK tax, any gains are taxable here in France, but need not be declared if total proceeds remain under € 20k per tax year.  Could some kind expert give me an indication of what normally happens after that amount?

eg:  Sell shares which originally cost € 24k for say € 34k realising € 10k profit.  Is this profit taxed as ordinary income within the usual thresholds,  or is it  like plus value on property - ie fixed at 16% + 11%CSG,  irrespective of personal allowances - and if the latter,  is there any relief depending on age of investment?

Many thanks

Blimey Coops  (if I may be so familiar - I feel I know you so well after following all the health threads....)  that was quick!

Thank you very much - I did try a few searches but nothing seemed definite - I'll go and plough through a few "what ifs" on the Impots site from your link.   I'll report back if I turn up anything else of interest...
