A company established in another EU Member State can recover the French VAT it incurred on purchases in France (hotels, trade fairs, fuel, services) without registering for VAT. For VAT incurred in 2025, the filing deadline is 30 September 2026.
Who can claim?
The procedure is for taxable persons established in the European Union with no taxable activity in France. The claim is filed electronically on the portal of the Member State where the company is established, which forwards it to France.
What determines the refund
- compliant invoices, with the mandatory mentions
- expenses that carry a right to deduct under French rules
- a minimum VAT amount, which differs depending on whether the claim covers the whole year or a shorter period
- filing on time: after 30 September, the claim is inadmissible
