Article 991 of the French General Tax Code

Any insurance agreement entered into with an insurance company or company or with any other French or foreign insurer is subject, regardless of the place and date at which it is or was entered into, to an annual and compulsory tax in return for payment of which any writing evidencing its formation, amendment or amicable termination, as well as the copies, extracts or copies thereof issued, are, regardless of the place at which they are or were drawn up, registered free of charge when the formality is required.

The tax is levied on the amount of the sums stipulated for the benefit of the insurer and all accessories from which the latter benefits directly or indirectly as a result of the insured.

Article 991

Toute convention d’assurance conclue avec une société ou compagnie d’assurances ou avec tout autre assureur français ou étranger est soumise, quels que soient le lieu et la date auxquels elle est ou a été conclue, à une taxe annuelle et obligatoire moyennant le paiement de laquelle tout écrit qui constate sa formation, sa modification ou sa résiliation amiable, ainsi que les expéditions, extraits ou copies qui en sont délivrés, sont, quelque soit le lieu où ils sont ou ont été rédigés, enregistrés gratis lorsque la formalité est requise.

La taxe est perçue sur le montant des sommes stipulées au profit de l’assureur et de tous accessoires dont celui-ci bénéficie directement ou indirectement du fait de l’assuré.
