Article 754 A of the French General Tax Code

Property acquired by virtue of a clause inserted into a contract of joint acquisition under which the share of the first deceased(s) will revert to the survivors in such a way that the last surviving will be considered the sole owner of all the property is, from a tax point of view, deemed to have passed gratuitously to each of the beneficiaries of the increase.

This provision does not apply to the main home shared by two purchasers where this has an overall value of less than €76,000, unless the beneficiary opts for the application of death duties.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 754 A

Les biens recueillis en vertu d’une clause insérée dans un contrat d’acquisition en commun selon laquelle la part du ou des premiers décédés reviendra aux survivants de telle sorte que le dernier vivant sera considéré comme seul propriétaire de la totalité des biens sont, au point de vue fiscal, réputés transmis à titre gratuit à chacun des bénéficiaires de l’accroissement.

Cette disposition ne s’applique pas à l’habitation principale commune à deux acquéreurs lorsque celle-ci a une valeur globale inférieure à 76 000 €, sauf si le bénéficiaire opte pour l’application des droits de mutation par décès .
