Sums are calculated on the basis of the commercial representation in cinemas of cinematographic works for which production approval has been granted.
The calculation is made by applying rates to the proceeds of the tax provided for in article L. 115-1 of the Code du cinéma et de l’image animée for a period of five years from the first commercial performance subject to the provisions relating to the control of cinema box office receipts set out in 3° of article L. 212-32 of the same code.
