The designation of a tax representative
is strongly advised when an undertaking carries out transactions subject to VAT
in one of the EU Member States. These include intra-Community transactions such as acquisitions or deliveries of goods or services between the customer and the service provider of the European Union. The tax representative is obligatory in the context of foreign operations, that is to say in the context of international import or export operations.
It is up to the tax representative
to fulfill the company's reporting obligations by ensuring full legal and administrative compliance with the tax regulations of the country concerned. Being the link between the company and the foreign tax administrations, it deals in particular with:
- to register the company for VAT purposes (VAT identification number)
- respond to requests from tax administrations
- complete and process all necessary supporting documents
- to draw up declarations by ensuring compliance with the time limits for filing and payment of VAT
- to handle VAT refund claims
- to assist and advise the company in the event of a tax audit
The tax representative helps the company manage constraints related to taxable transactions in France, Europe or internationally. Its liability may be incurred in certain specific cases.
