French VAT registration for Amazon sellers
Amazon collecting VAT on a customer sale does not, by itself, settle the seller's French VAT position. French stock, imports, movements of the seller's own goods and sales outside the marketplace can still create registration and filing obligations. We map the actual flow before applying for a number.

Where French VAT rules require a fiscal representative, that representative must be accredited and established in France.
How we help
We match the Seller Central entity to the stock, fulfilment and import reports, prepare the French registration route, add fiscal representation where the reviewed facts require and we accept the mandate, and set up the agreed CA3 workflow. The certificate, deadlines and filings remain visible in VAT EPR EXPERT FRANCE.
