The decision addresses whether interests held by family members and indirect holdings through intermediary entities must be considered when determining if a company falls within the scope of real estate provisions in tax treaties.

Nouveau formalisme requis pour les cessions de titres de sociétés à prépondérance immobilière
La France impose désormais un nouveau formalisme pour les cessions de parts ou actions dans des sociétés à prépondérance immobilière, exigeant l'intervention d'un notaire, avocat ou expert-comptable sous peine de nullité.
