Article 205 D of the French General Tax Code

When payments, expenses or losses deductible from the taxable income of a taxpayer who is resident in France and in another State pursuant to the rules of that State are taken into account in both States, their deduction is not allowed in France.

However, this deduction is allowed in France when:

1° The payment, expense or loss likely to be the subject of a double deduction is included in the taxable income of the beneficiary or, in the case of a loss, of the taxpayer in France and in the other State;

2° The other State is a Member State of the European Union which refuses the deduction and the tax treaty linking it to France fixes the residence of this taxpayer in France.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 205 D

Lorsque des paiements, des dépenses ou des pertes déductibles du résultat imposable d’un contribuable qui a sa résidence en France et dans un autre Etat en application des règles de cet Etat sont pris en compte dans ces deux Etats, leur déduction n’est pas admise en France.

Cette déduction est toutefois admise en France lorsque :

1° Le paiement, la dépense ou la perte susceptible de faire l’objet d’une double déduction est inclus dans le revenu imposable du bénéficiaire ou, s’agissant d’une perte, du contribuable en France et dans l’autre Etat ;

2° L’autre Etat est un Etat membre de l’Union européenne qui refuse la déduction et que la convention fiscale le liant à la France fixe la résidence de ce contribuable en France.
