Article 54 sexies of the French General Tax Code

Companies owing interest paid in respect of sums made available to them by members or shareholders and held in an individual blocked account must attach to their income tax return a statement of the sums made available to them.

Failure to comply with the obligation set out in the first paragraph shall, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, result in the immediate payment of the taxes from which the members or shareholders and the company have been exempted, together, where applicable, with the late payment interest provided for in Article 1727, deducted from the date on which these taxes should have been paid.

Article 54 sexies

Les sociétés débitrices des intérêts versés au titre des sommes mises à leur disposition par les associés ou actionnaires et portées sur un compte bloqué individuel doivent joindre à leur déclaration de résultats un état des sommes mises à leur disposition.

Le non-respect de l’obligation fixée au premier alinéa entraîne, nonobstant toutes dispositions contraires, l’exigibilité immédiate des impôts dont ont été dispensés les associés ou actionnaires et la société, assortis, le cas échéant, de l’intérêt de retard prévu à l’article 1727, décompté à partir de la date à laquelle ces impôts auraient dû être acquittés.
