How we help
We reconcile the registered entity's sales, refunds, imports, purchases and earlier balances before preparing the agreed CA3. We raise missing-data exceptions, file the approved position and retain the submission evidence. VAT EPR EXPERT FRANCE shows the filing status, deadline and return history.
The CA3 is the French VAT return used under the normal real regime. It reports the relevant taxable transactions, VAT due, deductible VAT and any resulting balance or credit for the assigned period.

Worked scenario: sales, returns and import VAT in one month
A seller has French marketplace sales, customer refunds and import VAT recorded on customs evidence. The CA3 must reconcile all three rather than simply applying a rate to gross sales. Missing import evidence is flagged before deductible VAT is claimed.
