French VAT registration

A French VAT number lets you charge and reclaim French VAT and meet your filing obligations. Non-EU sellers usually need a fiscal representative to hold one; EU sellers can register directly. We handle the registration and act as your representative where required.

Questions

Do EU sellers need a fiscal representative?
Usually no. EU sellers can generally register directly, but the filings still need to be done correctly.
Do non-EU sellers always need one?
Often, when they have French VAT obligations. Some exemptions and country-specific rules apply.
Are VAT returns included?
Registration is a one-off. Add a filing plan and we prepare and file your periodic CA3 returns; the registration fee is then waived.
