Article 1960 of the French General Tax Code

1. In matters of direct taxes and assimilated taxes, rebates of any kind, costs reimbursed to the taxpayer and expert appraisal costs charged to the administration are borne either by the Treasury, in the case of taxes or levies giving rise to a deduction for non-discharge costs for the benefit of the State, or by the local authority concerned in the case of other taxes.

2. When an administrative court annuls a decision granting discharge or reduction of direct taxes or assimilated taxes or imposes costs on a taxpayer, the competent State authority draws up a roll which is recovered by the public accountant responsible for the collection of direct taxes and the amount of which is immediately due.

Article 1960

1. En matière d’impôts directs et de taxes assimilées, les dégrèvements de toute nature, les frais remboursés au contribuable ainsi que les frais d’expertise mis à la charge de l’administration sont supportés, soit par le Trésor, s’il s’agit d’impôts ou de taxes donnant lieu à un prélèvement pour frais de non-valeurs au profit de l’Etat, soit par la collectivité intéressée s’il s’agit d’autres taxes.

2. Lorsqu’un tribunal administratif annule une décision portant décharge ou réduction d’impôts directs ou de taxes assimilées ou met des frais à la charge d’un contribuable, l’autorité compétente de l’Etat établit un rôle qui est recouvré par le comptable public chargé du recouvrement des impôts directs et dont le montant est immédiatement exigible.
