Article 774 of the French General Tax Code

By way of derogation from the provisions of 2° of Article 773, the existence and truthfulness of debts resulting from the application of articles L. 321-13 et seq. of the Rural and Maritime Fishing Code are sufficiently proven to the administration by all acts and writings, even subsequent to the death of a farmer, likely to be used as evidence in court between the farmer’s co-heirs or representatives. The heir creditor of the estate is however required to provide, in the forms and according to the rules determined by Article L. 20 of the Book of Tax Procedures, a certificate, dated and signed by him, stating the amount of his claim on the farmer’s estate.

Article 774

Par dérogation aux dispositions du 2° de l’article 773, l’existence et la sincérité des dettes résultant de l’application des articles L. 321-13 et suivants du code rural et de la pêche maritime sont suffisamment prouvées à l’égard de l’administration par tous actes et écrits, même postérieurs au décès d’un exploitant agricole, susceptibles de faire preuve en justice entre les cohéritiers ou représentants de l’exploitant. L’héritier créancier de la succession est toutefois tenu de fournir, dans les formes et suivant les règles déterminées par l’article L. 20 du livre des procédures fiscales, une attestation, datée et signée par lui, mentionnant le montant de sa créance sur la succession de l’exploitant.
