Frequently Asked Questions of Our VAT Services in France
We have the following Q&A for you about our French VAT services to make things on hand.
What is the current VAT rate for France?
The current standard VAT rate for France is 20%. If you are selling books, food products, or other eligible products or services, the rate is reduced to 10% for certain foodstuffs and pharmaceutical products.
How often will I need to file for VAT?
To file for VAT in France, you need to complete and submit monthly VAT returns. These will be sent electronically to the tax authorities. In France, VAT returns are due for submission and payment between the 15th and 24th of the month following the filing period.
What is the VAT refund process in France?
If the total input VAT exceeds the total output VAT for a VAT return period, the company can apply for a refund and can carry forward the VAT credit to the next period or, request a refund from the French tax authorities using the Form FTB 3519.
You can request VAT refunds on a monthly or quarterly basis when the total reimbursable amount exceeds €760. Refunds would be requested on an annual basis if the total reimbursable amount in the year exceeds €150. Otherwise, the VAT credit will be carried forward to the next tax period.
How long does it take to register for VAT in France?
The VAT registration process usually takes around 5 weeks before the VAT number is provided.
Please note, that some local authorities across the EU are experiencing extensive delays. We recommend that you factor this delay in, before commencing any business operations requiring VAT requirements.
