French tax law AI: track the source, date and assumption
AI can help navigate the French tax code, tax procedure code, BOFiP, published rulings and case law or organise calculation assumptions. It should not independently produce a tax conclusion or amount to file. Tax analysis requires the applicable version, source hierarchy, complete facts and often validation by a tax specialist or the administration.
Scope: French law · information, not legal advice
Tax-source and control stack
Six layers prevent legislation, official interpretation, case law, facts and calculation from being confused.
- Facts and period
- Define taxpayer, transaction, territory, dates and assumptions without filling gaps.
- Tax legislation
- Locate the applicable CGI and LPF version and read cross-references, exceptions and transitions.
- BOFiP guidance
- Check identifier, date, version, scope and conditions attached to the published interpretation.
- Case law
- Verify court, facts, decided issue and reach before drawing an analogy.
- Calculation
- Separate deterministic formulae, assumptions and inputs; test units and rounding.
- Conclusion and filing
- Reserve final qualification, elections, filing and formal positions for the competent role.
