French Cinema and Moving Image Code
In force
Sums are calculated for the broadcast, on television services whose publishers are subject to the tax provided for in article L. 115-6 du code du cinéma et de l'image animée, of cinematographic works for which production approval has been granted.
The calculation is carried out by applying a rate to the amount of the sums excluding tax paid by the television service publishers in execution of the broadcasting rights assignment contracts concluded with the production companies, their agents or their assignees for a period of eight years from the first commercial performance subject to the provisions relating to the control of cinematographic exhibition revenues provided for in 3° of article L. 212-32 of the same code. <Where a cinematographic work is broadcast on a television service distributed by satellite or cable, this broadcast is only taken into account if this service serves a number of subscriber households at least equal to 100,000. This condition does not apply when the film is broadcast on a pay-per-view television service. <The rate is set at 10% of the sums paid, up to a ceiling of €305,000 excluding tax, by television service publishers in performance of broadcasting rights assignment contracts.
