What We Will Ensure for You
We will completely relieve you of communication with foreign authorities and take care of the entire process:
- Verification of Obligations: We will analyze your situation and confirm whether you need to register.
- Document Preparation: We will prepare all forms and powers of attorney in the language of the respective country.
- Obtaining VAT Number: We will submit an application to the tax office and finalize the registration.
- Subsequent Reporting: We are happy to take over regular tax returns for you.
When is Registration Necessary?
The obligation to register for VAT abroad most commonly arises in the following situations:
- Warehouses Abroad: You use your own or consignment warehouse in the respective country (e.g., Amazon FBA).
- Construction and Assembly Work: You carry out contracts on properties located abroad.
- Import of Goods: You are clearing goods from non-EU countries into the territory of the respective state.
- Local Sales: You buy and sell goods within one country without crossing borders.
We will ensure a smooth process from the preparation of documents to communication with the French tax authority (Direction générale des Finances publiques). We will ensure that all documentation meets the strict formal requirements there and that you avoid high penalties for late reporting.
