Compliance & Registration
Who Must Register for French TVA?
In France, businesses and auto-entrepreneurs are subject to the franchise en base de TVA exemption regime as long as their annual turnover remains beneath statutory thresholds: €91,900 for retail sales and accommodation (with an upper threshold of €101,000), or €36,800 for service providers and liberal professions (with an upper threshold of €39,100). Once turnover crosses these thresholds, the entity must register with the Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFiP) and charge TVA.
