Article 298 undecies of the French General Tax Code

Intermediation transactions carried out by persons able to prove their status as agents duly registered with the commission mentioned in article 26 of law no. 47-585 of 2 April 1947 relating to the status of newspaper and periodical publication grouping and distribution companies do not give rise to payment of value added tax when they concern periodical writings within the meaning of the law of 29 July 1881. Publishers of periodicals distributed in this way pay value added tax on the total selling price to the public.

For the purposes of calculating deduction rights, the above transactions are deemed to have been effectively taxed.
