Article 825 of the French General Tax Code

The net increase in the capital of an open-ended company, recorded at the end of a financial year, is recorded free of charge; the words “free of charge” are entered in the minutes of the general meeting of shareholders which rules on the results for that financial year.

The repurchase by an open-ended investment company with a preponderance of real estate capital of its own shares is subject to registration duty at the rate set in 2° of I of Article 726 when the holder of the shares is in one of the cases mentioned in a and b of Article 730 quinquies. However, this registration duty does not apply when the holder requesting the redemption of its units is itself an undertaking for collective real estate investment.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 825

L’augmentation nette du capital d’une société à capital variable, constatée à la clôture d’un exercice, est enregistrée gratuitement ; la mention “gratuit” est portée sur le procès-verbal de l’assemblée générale des associés qui statue sur les résultats de cet exercice.

Le rachat par une société de placement à prépondérance immobilière à capital variable de ses propres actions est soumis à un droit d’enregistrement au taux fixé au 2° du I de l’article 726 lorsque le porteur des actions se trouve dans l’un des cas mentionnés aux a et b de l’article 730 quinquies. Toutefois, ce droit d’enregistrement ne s’applique pas lorsque le porteur qui demande le rachat de ses parts est lui-même un organisme de placement collectif immobilier.
