France transfers VAT registration-related formalities to the INPI portal
On 1 January 2023, the French government transferred all VAT registration, changes of company details and deregistration requests to the online one-stop shop of the INPI, the French National Institute of Industrial Property. Moving forward, such company formalities must be submitted on the portal called βformalitΓ©s entreprisesβ. However, no changes apply to VAT reporting obligations on the existing impots-gouv platform.
By making taxpayers and agents use the INPI portal, the government is trying to streamline and simplify the management of formalities for businesses. In fact, a year ago the French government also launched a new optional portal referred to as portailpro.gouv.fr, that businesses can start using to manage all their VAT and customs obligations in a single interface.
