Key Features
How VAT (TVA) shapes quotations in France
France applies TVA at a standard 20%, an intermediate 10% for restaurants and transport, a reduced 5.5% on food and books, and a super-reduced 2.1% on medicines and press.
An invoice must show your 14-digit SIRET, the TVA intracommunautaire number, a sequential number, and — if exempt — the mention 'TVA non applicable, article 293 B du CGI'.

Registering, filing and staying compliant when you send quotations in France
Micro-entrepreneurs below €36,800 for services or €91,900 for goods use the franchise en base and issue invoices without charging TVA.
TVA is declared monthly or quarterly on the CA3 return through the impots.gouv.fr professional account. Returns are administered by the Direction générale des Finances publiques (DGFiP).
Mandatory B2B e-invoicing via Factur-X and Chorus Pro is phasing in from 2026, and Clorefy already structures the SIRET and TVA fields. The DGFiP applies a 10% surcharge for late payment plus 0.20% monthly interest on overdue TVA.
