Article 660 of the French General Tax Code

The competent public accountants are prohibited from carrying out the registration formality in respect of deeds subject to land registration pursuant to the decree no. 55-22 of 4 January 1955 as amended and which are not drawn up in authentic form, in accordance with the provisions of article 4 of that text.

The refusal is recorded in the department’s register on the date the private document is submitted for registration. The note of refusal, dated and signed by the accountant, affixed to each of the originals, gives certainty of date to the deed; one of the originals is kept at the tax department.

Article 660

Il est fait défense aux comptables publics compétents d’accomplir la formalité de l’enregistrement à l’égard des actes sujets à publicité foncière en exécution du décret n° 55-22 du 4 janvier 1955 modifié et qui ne seraient pas dressés en la forme authentique, conformément aux prescriptions de l’article 4 de ce texte.

Le refus est constaté sur le registre du service, à la date de la présentation de l’acte sous seing privé à la formalité de l’enregistrement. La mention de refus, datée et signée par le comptable, apposée sur chacun des originaux, donne date certaine à l’acte ; un des originaux est conservé au service des impôts.
