Filing services: VAT

Foreign VAT refund

Your expenses in France (hotels, trade fairs, fuel, services) may include VAT that you can recover without being registered. Hanoutax prepares your claims.

The service

A company established in another Member State with no taxable activity in France can claim a refund of the French VAT incurred on its purchases. The claim follows a European procedure with a strict filing deadline and relies on compliant invoices. We analyse what is recoverable and prepare the file.

What we take care of

  • Sorting your French invoices and determining recoverable VAT
  • Checking that supporting documents are compliant
  • Preparing the claim under the applicable procedure
  • Filing through the portal of your Member State of establishment
  • Answering requests for additional information

How it works

  1. You send us your invoices for the year.
  2. We identify the recoverable VAT and any missing documents.
  3. We prepare and file the claim on time.
  4. We follow the authorities’ response until the refund.
