Why do I need a fiscal representative ?

When selling and storing goods in different countries, you might need to appoint a fiscal representative for VAT purposes.
Although it’s not required everywhere, the complexities of language and compliance make having a fiscal representative a smart choice.

A fiscal representative is usually based locally and shares responsibility with the VAT payer for paying VAT to the tax authorities. If you’re planning to expand internationally, K1 VAT Consulting, along with his solid experience gained within a multinational company with high-stakes VAT challenges, offers full fiscal representation services in France. Our consultants team will guide you through every step, handling all the paperwork and managing the admin for your VAT registration and compliance.

We don’t just ensure you’re compliant — we offer advice on the best strategies to help you meet VAT laws in each country where you do business.

Do I need to register ?

In the European Union, VAT is typically payable in the country where the final consumer is located.
To ease the burden for micro-businesses engaged in cross-border e-commerce, the EU has implemented distance-selling thresholds, which vary by member state. As long as your net turnover remains below the applicable threshold, you may continue to declare and remit VAT in the country of dispatch.

However, once you exceed a country’s threshold — or if you store inventory within that country — VAT registration becomes mandatory in the respective jurisdiction.

K1 VAT consulting provides end-to-end support to ensure your business is fully VAT-compliant across the EU.
Our team of experts will oversee your VAT registrations in France, managing the entire administrative process on your behalf. From document preparation to submission, we keep you fully informed and in control, allowing you to focus on growing your business with confidence.

Why let us submit your VAT returns/Intrastat ?

Your business is VAT registered, you are required to submit periodic VAT returns.
These returns must report all taxable transactions within the filing period, along with the VAT due. Each EU member state has its own deadlines and filing requirements, which can be complex to navigate.

To stay VAT compliant in every market where you operate, you must file accurate VAT returns in line with local tax regulations — often in the local language and under varying legal frameworks.
