Frequently asked questions

Common questions about French VAT and EPR compliance. If yours is not here, contact us.

Do I need a French VAT number?: If you make taxable sales in France, hold stock there, or import into France, you usually do. We confirm this for you in the compliance check.
Do non-EU sellers need a fiscal representative?: Often yes, when they have French VAT obligations. EU sellers can usually register directly. Some exemptions apply.
What is a UIN and why do marketplaces ask for it?: The UIN (Identifiant Unique) proves you are registered for French EPR. Marketplaces increasingly require it before you can list in-scope products.
How fast can you set me up?: Most onboarding happens online in days, not weeks. Timelines depend on the registrations involved.
What do you charge?: French VAT filing is from €399 a year (registration is a €49 one-off, free with a plan), OSS from €599, and EPR from €99 per category (packaging from €59). See the pricing page for details.
Do you only cover France?: Yes. We are French VAT and EPR specialists. For OSS, we cover your intra-EU distance sales filed through France.
Can you take over from my current provider?: Yes. Transfer of an existing French VAT setup is included in our French VAT plan.
