Article 14 B of the French General Tax Code

Items of income covered by this I that have been waived or relinquished by the lessor to the lessee company between 15 April 2020 and 31 December 2021 under the conditions and within the limits mentioned in 9° of 1 of article 39 do not constitute taxable income for the lessor. The application of this article does not prevent the deduction of expenses corresponding to income items that have been waived or relinquished.

When the lessee business is operated by an ascendant, descendant or member of the lessor’s tax household, the benefit of the provisions of this article is subject to the condition that the lessor can justify by any means the business’s cash flow difficulties.
