Article R2335-14 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

Distributors are required to pay the Treasury the amount of the fees in the month following their collection from users or, where there is no collection, in January for the previous year.

In the absence of payment by the distributor, recovery of the fee is pursued against the distributor in accordance with the rules applicable to the recovery of State debts unrelated to taxes and property.

In the event of the user’s insolvency, the distributor may be exempted from payment of the tax under conditions set by order of the Minister for the Economy and Finance and the Minister for the Interior.

Article R2335-14

Les distributeurs sont tenus de verser au Trésor le montant des redevances dans le mois qui suit leur recouvrement sur les usagers ou, lorsqu’il n’y a pas de recouvrement, au mois de janvier pour l’année précédente.

A défaut de versement par le distributeur, le recouvrement de la redevance est poursuivi à l’encontre de celui-ci selon les règles applicables au recouvrement des créances de l’Etat étrangères à l’impôt et au domaine.

En cas d’insolvabilité de l’usager, le distributeur peut être dispensé du versement de la taxe dans des conditions fixées par arrêté du ministre de l’économie et des finances et du ministre de l’intérieur.
