Article L152-6 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

Organisations that fail to comply with the obligations set out in article L. 152-3 are liable to a fine equal to 50% of the amount of the sums not disclosed. Where the taxpayer proves that the Treasury has not suffered any loss, the fine is reduced to 5% and capped at 750 euros in the event of a first offence.

The offence is established and the fine recovered, guaranteed and contested under the conditions laid down for contraventions of the provisions relating to the right of communication of the tax and customs administrations mentioned in article L. 152-3.
