Each year, for each service publisher or distributor, taxpayers complete a declaration in accordance with the model approved by the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée.
The declaration is submitted to the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée in a single copy within the same deadlines as those applicable to the value added tax declaration for the month of March or the first quarter of the calendar year.
The return includes the information needed to calculate the tax due for the previous calendar year and to collect the tax due for the current year. It specifies, in respect of the previous calendar year, each of the constituent elements of the tax base defined in article L. 115-7, the amount of advance payments already made and any additional tax due, as well as the amount of advance payments due for the current year.
The declaration is sent electronically.
