VAT reporting in France is not just about collecting the right amount of tax; it’s also about ensuring accurate filing of the VAT return. To start with, businesses need to collect and document VAT on every sale or service provided. This documentation should be thorough, as the French tax system demands that all sales and purchases be backed by proper invoices. Invoices need to include specific information, such as the VAT number of the business, a breakdown of the VAT rate applied, and the total VAT charged. Once the invoices are ready, businesses need to file the VAT returns using the appropriate forms, typically via the French tax portal.
