Tax fraud

Since the Law of October 23rd, 2018, the French Tax Administration is required to report to the Prosecutor’s services some cases that meet the criteria set by law in article 1741 of the French Tax Code.

Cases with the following characteristics are therefore automatically sent to the public Prosecutor:

  • An amount of reassessed tax greater than €100,000 with application of an increase of 100% or 80%;
  • An amount of reassessed tax greater than €100,000 with application of an increase of 40%, if during the preceding six calendar years the taxpayer has already been the subject, during a previous control, to the application of an increase of 100%, 80%, 40%.

Maître RIVIERE defends taxpayers who are prosecuted for tax fraud before the Criminal Court or can represent the taxpayer during the process of lodging a “Guilty plea” (Comparution sur Reconnaissance Préalable de Culpabilité – CRPC).
