When a leasing company leases a business, a craft business or one of their non-depreciable intangible elements or shares in commercial companies that are not negotiable on a regulated market under the conditions provided for in 3 or 4 of Article L. 313-7 of the Monetary and Financial Code, the sums corresponding to the share of the rent taken into account for the determination of the agreed sale price for the acceptance of the unilateral promise of sale does not constitute an item of its taxable income if the payment of these sums gives rise to a debt of equal amount towards the lessee recognised in the balance sheet of the leasing company.
For the purposes of determining the capital gain on disposal taxable when the lessee accepts the unilateral undertaking to sell, the sale price agreed in the contract is increased by the share of rent defined in the first paragraph.
A decree sets out the terms and conditions for applying this provision, in particular the reporting obligations.
