France NEW Fiscal Representation Requirements

France plans to eliminate the option of limited fiscal representation for companies based outside the EU as of January 2026. This has been widely used by UK businesses after Brexit, but also applies to North American companies. Non-EU companies import goods into France and then move these goods to other EU countries have been doing so under “procedure 42”. The big news is that now non-EU businesses must register for VAT. EuroVAT will assist with implementing all new procedures.
