Fiscal representation not required in France for UK businesses

13 November 2020

The French tax authorities have confirmed that UK businesses will not have a requirement to engage a fiscal representative when the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December 2020, even if there is no agreement reached between the UK and the EU.

A fiscal representative is a local entity that represents foreign traders for VAT purposes, usually in countries where the traders must VAT register but cannot do so themselves.
