The parties are required to disclose, in any deed recording an inter vivos transfer free of charge and in any declaration of succession, whether or not there are previous donations granted in any capacity and in any form whatsoever by the donor or the deceased to the donees, heirs or legatees and, if so, the amount of these donations as well as, where applicable, the names, capacities and residences of the ministerial officers who received the deeds of donation, and the date of registration of these deeds.
Collection is carried out by adding to the value of the assets included in the donation or the declaration of inheritance that of the assets that have been the subject of previous donations, with the exception of those made more than fifteen years ago, and, where a progressive rate is to be applied, by considering those of these assets whose transfer has not yet been subject to gratuitous transfer duty as included in the highest brackets of the taxable assets.
For the calculation of the allowances and reductions enacted by articles 779,790 B, 790 D, 790 E and 790 F the allowances and reductions made on previous gifts referred to in the second paragraph made by the same person shall be taken into account.
