  • with a power of attorney, position payment of all your monthly, quarterly or annual taxes so that you are in no way disturbed with it and, above all, you do not risk incurring penalties for late payment.
  • obtain for you a VAT registration in France, with issue of a French VAT number, if you are a foreign company wishing to engage in VAT-taxable operations in France without having a permanent establishment.
  • prepare, whether you are a French or foreign company without a permanent establishment in France, the monthly Intrastat returns for goods and services (DEB and DES) and file them with the French Customs authorities.
  • reclaim for you, if entitled to under the 8th EU Directive, the refund of TVA (VAT) paid on purchases made in France, or even in other member countries of the EU.
