Tax officials may only be authorised to carry out judicial police missions when they are assigned to one of the departments mentioned in Article R. 15-33-29-4-1.
For each of these agents, a request for authorisation is sent, on the proposal of the head of the tax inspection department at the Directorate General of Public Finances, to the Public Prosecutor at the Paris Court of Appeal by the head of the judicial police department mentioned in the first paragraph.
Assignment outside one of the departments mentioned in Article R. 15-33-29-4-1 shall result in the lapse of the authorisation to carry out judicial police missions.
