Article 757 of the French General Tax Code

Deeds containing either the declaration by the donee or his representatives, or the judicial recognition of a manual gift, are subject to transfer duties for no consideration. These duties are calculated on the value of the manual gift on the day of its declaration or registration, or on its value on the day of the donation if this is higher. The rate and allowances applicable are those in force on the day the manual gift is declared or registered.

The same rule applies when the donee discloses a manual donation to the tax authorities.

These provisions do not apply to manual donations made to charitable organisations mentioned in Article 200.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 757

Les actes renfermant soit la déclaration par le donataire ou ses représentants, soit la reconnaissance judiciaire d’un don manuel, sont sujets aux droits de mutation à titre gratuit. Ces droits sont calculés sur la valeur du don manuel au jour de sa déclaration ou de son enregistrement, ou sur sa valeur au jour de la donation si celle-ci est supérieure. Le tarif et les abattements applicables sont ceux en vigueur au jour de la déclaration ou de l’enregistrement du don manuel.

La même règle s’applique lorsque le donataire révèle un don manuel à l’administration fiscale.

Ces dispositions ne s’appliquent pas aux dons manuels consentis aux organismes d’intérêt général mentionnés à l’article 200.
