Article 39 sexies of the French General Tax Code

Sums allocated by virtue of the provisions of the texts adopted for the application of article L. 311-1 of the Code du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée to operators of public cinematographic establishments and to technical industries for the equipping and modernisation of studios and laboratories for the development and printing of films constitute a taxable profit. However, when they are allocated to the financing of work which, from a tax point of view, has the character of depreciable fixed assets, these allocations are allocated by priority to the exceptional depreciation of these fixed assets, the normal depreciation of which is then calculated only on the residual value, after deduction of the allocations paid to the exhibitors or delegated by them for the execution of this work.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 39 sexies

Les sommes allouées en vertu des dispositions des textes pris pour l’application de l’article L. 311-1 du code du cinéma et de l’image animée aux exploitants d’établissements de spectacles cinématographiques publics ainsi qu’aux industries techniques pour l’équipement et la modernisation des studios et des laboratoires de développement et de tirage des films constituent un élément du bénéfice imposable. Toutefois, lorsqu’elles sont affectées au financement de travaux ayant, au point de vue fiscal, le caractère d’immobilisations amortissables, ces allocations sont affectées par priorité à l’amortissement exceptionnel de ces immobilisations dont l’amortissement normal n’est calculé ensuite que sur la valeur résiduelle, après imputation des allocations versées aux exploitants ou déléguées par eux pour l’exécution de ces travaux.
