Article 117 of the French General Tax Code

In the event that the total amount of distributed income exceeds the total amount of distributions as it results from the declarations of the legal entity referred to in Article 116, the latter is asked to provide the administration, within thirty days, with any additional information on the beneficiaries of the excess distribution.

In the event of refusal or failure to reply within this period, the corresponding sums shall give rise to the application of the penalty provided for in Article 1759.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 117

Au cas où la masse des revenus distribués excède le montant total des distributions tel qu’il résulte des déclarations de la personne morale visées à l’article 116, celle-ci est invitée à fournir à l’administration, dans un délai de trente jours, toutes indications complémentaires sur les bénéficiaires de l’excédent de distribution.

En cas de refus ou à défaut de réponse dans ce délai, les sommes correspondantes donnent lieu à l’application de la pénalité prévue à l’article 1759.
