Article 238 bis AB of the General Tax Code

CGI · French Tax Law

Allows companies subject to corporate income tax (IS) or industrial and commercial profits tax (BIC) to deduct the purchase price of original works by living artists in equal installments over five years. The annual deduction is capped at 20,000 EUR or 5‰ of revenue excluding tax. The work must be displayed in a space accessible to employees, customers, or visitors, and retained for at least five years.

BOFiP · Official Bulletin of Public Finance

Directorate General of Public Finance · bofip.impots.gouv.fr

The administrative doctrine confirmed in the BOFiP specifies that the deduction is made outside the accounting records (off-balance-sheet) and that the company must establish a special reserve on the liability side of its balance sheet equal to the cumulative amount of the deductions. This reserve is reversed if the artwork is sold before the five-year period has elapsed.

Measure extended through December 31, 2028
