Article 748 of the French General Tax Code

Shares of movable or immovable property that are part of a succession or a marital community and that are made solely between the original members of the joint ownership, their spouse, ascendants, descendants or universal beneficiaries of one or more of them, are not considered to transfer ownership to the extent of the balances or capital gains. The same applies to divisions of undivided property resulting from a shared gift and divisions of undivided property acquired by partners who have entered into a civil solidarity pact or by spouses, before or during the pact or marriage. In these cases, tax is levied on the net value of the shared assets determined without deduction of these balances or capital gains.

Article 748

Les partages qui portent sur des biens meubles ou immeubles dépendant d’une succession ou d’une communauté conjugale et qui interviennent uniquement entre les membres originaires de l’indivision, leur conjoint, des ascendants, des descendants ou des ayants droit à titre universel de l’un ou de plusieurs d’entre eux, ne sont pas considérés comme translatifs de propriété dans la mesure des soultes ou plus-values. Il en est de même des partages portant sur des biens indivis issus d’une donation-partage et des partages portant sur des biens indivis acquis par des partenaires ayant conclu un pacte civil de solidarité ou par des époux, avant ou pendant le pacte ou le mariage. En ce qui les concerne, l’imposition est liquidée sur la valeur nette de l’actif partagé déterminée sans déduction de ces soultes ou plus-values.
