Annex 2

TAX EXEMPTION

According to article 238 bis AB of the French General Tax Code, any person or company can benefit from tax advantages by deducting 100% of the value of the acquired works of art from the taxable income of the company. In this case, it is an acquisition via a business intermediary. 

Deduction of the price of the works of art from the company’s taxable income is possible if the work in question is an original produced by an artist alive at the time of acquisition. 

This tax advantage is conditional on the exhibition of the work of art in a place accessible to the public, e.g. to employees, excluding individual offices.

Finally, it is specified that the tax deduction is spread over a period of 5 years, i.e. 20% of the acquisition price per year.
