The year ends badly for someone close to Johnny Hallyday. Jean-Claude Camus, former producer of Taulier, has just learned some very bad news. He lost his long battle against the French tax authorities, according to information from “Capital”.
It all started in 2014 when Bercy decided to condemn Jean-Claude Camus to a tax adjustment of one million euros. The latter challenged the decision before the administrative court of Paris before seizing the administrative court of appeal. But this did not prove him right.
“We paid for the adjustment, but we appealed to the Council of State, asking to be discharged at least from the penalties”, explains his lawyer to “Capital”. The penalties represent the tidy sum of 359,991 euros. For Jean-Claude Camus and his lawyer, this whole affair stems from a simple error by the accountant of his company Camus Développement.
In 2008, when he sold his company Camus Investissements and his subsidiary Jean-Claude Camus Production to Warner, Jean-Claude Camus received a check for five million euros. Before receiving, three years later, an additional 1.7 million euros, still according to “Capital”. “The dispute with the tax authorities relates to this price supplement. In practice, Warner paid this sum to the Camus Développement holding. But, in the accounts of the Camus Développement holding, the sum was treated as if it had been paid to Jean-Claude Camus on a personal basis “, explain our colleagues. “The sum was wrongly entered in the accounts of Camus Développement as an advance to Jean-Claude Camus, explained the advice of Jean-Claude Camus to” Capital “. It is an error of the chartered accountant . We explained it to the tax authorities, corrected the accounts and challenged the accountant in court. ” In any case, this story ends badly for Jean-Claude Camus who has just lost his battle against the tax authorities.
