Where the taxpayer has not filed his declaration within the time limits mentioned in articles L. 115-4 and L. 115-11 and has not regularised its situation within thirty days of receiving formal notice, served by registered post, to produce it within this period, the agents mentioned in Article L. 115-16 may automatically determine the tax base on the basis of the taxpayer’s own data or, failing this, by reference to the turnover achieved by an operator of a cinema, a television service publisher or a distributor of comparable television services.
The taxpayer is notified of the bases or factors used to calculate the ex officio taxes and the methods used to determine them at least thirty days before the taxes are levied.
