I.-The allocations made each year by law from the resources of the Local Authorities’ Value Added Tax Compensation Fund are intended to compensate for the value added tax paid by local authorities and their groupings on their investment expenditure as well as on their expenditure for:
1° Maintenance of public buildings and roads;
2° The maintenance of networks paid for from 1 January 2020;
3° The provision of cloud computing solutions determined by a joint order of the ministers in charge of finance, relations with local authorities and digital paid by local authorities from 1 January 2021.
II.-Allocations from the Value Added Tax Compensation Fund are determined as part of an automated procedure for processing budgetary and accounting data. This automated procedure applies to expenditure paid by local authorities from 1 January 2021 under the different payment schemes applicable to beneficiaries as defined in Article L. 1615-6.
However, this automated processing procedure does not apply to the capital expenditure referred to in the fourth, ninth and penultimate paragraphs of Article L. 1615-2 and to the grants referred to in the last paragraph of the same Article L. 1615-2, nor to the expenditure referred to in III of Article L. 1615-6 of this Code, nor to that referred to in Article L. 211-7 of the Education Code. For these expenses, allocations from the fund result from a declaratory procedure.
The arrangements for implementing the procedures mentioned in this II are defined by decree.
