Article 72 F of the French General Tax Code

L’à-valoir mentionné à l’article L. 731-22-1 of the French Rural and Maritime Fishing Code is deductible from the profit or loss for the financial year in which it is paid.

However, when the taxable income for a financial year is higher than that of the previous financial year, the capital gain referred to in the first paragraph not paid at the end of the financial year is nevertheless deductible up to a limit of 20% of the increase recorded, provided that this payment is made within six months of the end of the financial year and no later than the date of filing of the income tax return relating to the financial year in respect of which the deduction is made. The portion of the capital gain thus deducted is no longer deductible in respect of the financial year in which it is paid.

Article 72 F

L’à-valoir mentionné à l’article L. 731-22-1 du code rural et de la pêche maritime est déductible du résultat de l’exercice au cours duquel il est versé.

Toutefois, lorsque le résultat imposable d’un exercice est en hausse par rapport à celui de l’exercice précédent, l’à-valoir visé au premier alinéa non versé à la clôture de l’exercice est néanmoins déductible dans la limite de 20 % de la hausse constatée, à condition que ce versement soit effectué dans les six mois de la clôture de l’exercice et au plus tard à la date de dépôt de la déclaration des résultats se rapportant à l’exercice au titre duquel la déduction est pratiquée. La fraction de l’à-valoir ainsi déduite n’est plus déductible au titre de l’exercice de versement.
