In the case of a sale between two French real estate companies (sociétés civiles) of the usufruct of a building for a period depending on the date of death of the partners, the Paris Court of Appeal ruled that the value to be used for calculating the selling tax is the value resulting from the sliding scale of article 669 of the French tax code (CGI) and not the price expressed in the deed.
Pascal JULIEN SAINT-AMAND, Althémis Paris notaire, specifies on this occasion that the application of taxation on a flat rate basis is the position that seems most defendable.
